US Poll on Trump's Foreign Interventions
Analysis based on 10 articles · First reported Jan 14, 2026 · Last updated Jan 14, 2026
The poll results indicate a divided public opinion in the United States regarding Donald Trump's foreign policy and military interventions, which could influence future policy decisions. While some see benefits in actions like the Venezuela intervention for drug trafficking, overall disapproval of Donald Trump's foreign policy could lead to shifts in global engagement, potentially affecting defense spending and international relations.
A new AP-NORC poll reveals that more than half of United States adults believe President Donald Trump has 'gone too far' in using the United States military to intervene in other countries. The poll, conducted after the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, found that 56% of United States adults think Donald Trump has overstepped on military interventions abroad. Majorities also disapprove of his handling of foreign policy in general and Venezuela in particular. While some Americans see benefits in the United States' intervention in Venezuela for halting illegal drug flow, opinions are divided on its impact on United States economic and national security interests. Republicans largely support Donald Trump's actions, while Democrats and independents are driving the belief that he has overstepped. The poll also indicates a desire among nearly half of Americans for the United States to take a 'less active' role in world affairs.
