US Poll Reveals Wide Opposition to Venezuela Military Action, Deep Economic Dissatisfaction

Tehran - BORNA - A national survey conducted by CBS News and YouGov between November 19 and 21, 2025, reveals significant public resistance to potential foreign military engagement and deep negative sentiment regarding domestic economic conditions. The poll highlights a sharp contrast between official government optimism and the public's perception of economic reality and political transparency.

The survey found overwhelming public opposition to the idea of US military action against Venezuela, with a decisive 70% of Americans opposing such an intervention, compared to only 30% in favor. This opposition is rooted not just in policy disagreement but also in skepticism regarding effectiveness; 56% of respondents believe that US military action in Venezuela would not change the amount of drugs entering the United States.

Pervasive Economic Pessimism

Domestic sentiment remains heavily negative, particularly concerning the cost of living. Only 32% of Americans currently rate the US economy as "good," reflecting persistent dissatisfaction. This pessimism is directly tied to the cost of household goods, as a substantial 65% of Americans believe that President Trump's policies are causing grocery prices to go up, placing direct blame on the administration for increased living expenses.

Consequently, disapproval rates are high across key domestic policy areas: 68% disapprove of the administration's handling of inflation, and 64% disapprove of its handling of the economy overall. Furthermore, 60% of those polled believe that the President makes things sound "better than they really are" when discussing prices and inflation. Even on the issue of immigration, 55% disapprove of the administration's handling.

Epstein Case and Public Trust Deficit

The poll also uncovered a significant lack of trust in official narratives. An overwhelming majority considers the release of information regarding the Jeffrey Epstein case to be important, with 55% stating it is "Very Important." However, despite this strong demand for disclosure, a corresponding 57% of Americans say it is "Too soon to say" whether any new information released from the Epstein files would be true, indicating widespread skepticism about the veracity of information coming from official sources.
