A recent Meganálisis survey indicates that many Venezuelans are bewildered by the Trump administration's ties to the Delcy Rodríguez government. The poll also highlights intense public fury regarding the regime's response to the June 24 earthquake.
The 77% outrage over Trump's ties to Delcy Rodríguez
A new Meganálisis survey, conducted between July 18 and 28 with a 2.84 percent margin of error, highlights a growing political rift.. According to the report, between 69.9 and 77.5 percent of Venezuelans expressed feelings of confusion, disappointment, and outrage regarding President Donald Trump's continued support for members of the Delcy Rodríguez-led government.
This sentiment appears to be a direct reaction to the administration's perceived rapprochement with Rodríguez following the January 3 arrest of Nicolás Maduro. This shift has, according to the firm, triggered a severe crisis of credibility for U.S. foreign policy in the eyes of the Venezuelan people.
A 91.6% condemnation of the regime's earthquake response
The social fabric of Venezuela remains deeply wounded following the June 24 double earthquake, which official figures state killed 6,125 people and injured nearly 61,000. As reported by Meganálisis, 91.6 percent of respondents described the socialist regime's response to the catastrophe as poor or very poor.
The public's anger is fueled by the belief that many deaths were preventable; roughly 80 percent of those surveyed believe the govrenment failed to help victims effectively. Furthermore, 95.9 percent of participants stated that Delcy Rodríguez and the regime could have done significantly more in the immediate hours and days following the disaster.
The 94.1% distrust of official government communications
The earthquake has exacerbated a massive breakdown in trust between the state and its citizens. The Meganálisis study found that 94.1 percent of Venezuelans do not trust official information, with 93 percent reporting they received little to no useful data from the regime . Consequently, 86.2 percent of the population has turned to social media for news, with 67.3 percent obtaining a significant amount of their information there.
While official communications are now viewed as vehicles for state-sponsored disinformation, the poll highlights a counter-trend of civic resilience. Between 80 and 90 percent of respondents expressed admiration for the solidarity and generosity shown by fellow citizens and the internatioonal community in the wake of the tragedy.
The 57.7% uncertainty regarding Trump's Venezuelan objectives
The survey leaves several critical gaps in the understanding of the current political landscape. While 57.7 percent of respondents expressed uncertainty regarding the Trump administration's specific objectives in Venezuela, the report does not provide the administration's rationale for its current diplomatic stance.
Additionally, while 95.4 percent of citizens expressed outrage over the post-earthquake period, the specific reasons for the regime's operational shortcomings remain unverified by the poll. Finally, the report focuses on the citizenry's reaction but does not include any official rebuttal from the Delcy Rodríguez administration regarding the 91.6 percent disapproval rating.
