In our recent
about Venezuela and potential U.S. military action, we noted that among President Trump's GOP base, MAGA Republicans in particular were even more supportive of potential action than non-MAGA Republicans.
asserted
Republicans → note → Republicans
Some recent context: MAGA Republicans have been consistently supportive of Mr. Trump across a range of issues, including dealings overseas.
asserted
Republicans → include → dealings
Most do still want to hear more now:
asserted
Most → want → more
Most MAGA Republicans, as with most of the public overall, say the president needs to explain decisions about military action in Venezuela.
asserted
president → say → Venezuela
Yet, there is plenty of deference to his judgment on such matters, as the idea that he doesn't need to explain is relatively more prevalent among them.

he → be → them

belief → say → MAGA

But even with that, most MAGA are not seeing Venezuela as a major threat, nor do Americans overall.

asserted
it → get → Venezuela
They tend to see the label as meaning the U.S. will get involved in international affairs but only to promote its own interests, not that the U.S. would stay off the world stage entirely.
asserted
U.S. → tend → stage
But that said, international and foreign policy are not the issues on which Republicans say they are evaluating the president most, and in fact, only a scant 5% say that.
asserted
% → say → that
For MAGA Republicans, most important issues are immigration and deportation, with twice as many saying that as the economy and inflation.
And they rate Mr. Trump's handling of immigration at 97% approval.
asserted
they → say → approval
This analysis is based on a CBS News/YouGov survey that was conducted with a nationally representative sample of 2,489 U.S. adults interviewed between November 19-21, 2025.
asserted
that → base → November
The sample was weighted to be representative of adults nationwide according to gender, age, race, and education, based on the U.S. Census American Community Survey and Current Population Survey, as well as 2024 presidential vote.
uncertain
sample → weight → Survey
