A new Atlas Intel / Bloomberg survey finds that 73% of Latin Americans believe Venezuela would be better off without Nicolás Maduro, while just 13% continue to support his government — widely viewed as an authoritarian and narco-linked regime.
The poll also shows that more than half of respondents across the region trust opposition leader María Corina Machado to lead a democratic transition in Venezuela, reflecting growing regional consensus for political change in the crisis-stricken nation.
Maduro, in power since 2013, has faced international sanctions, economic collapse, and allegations of human rights abuses, while his government continues to resist calls for free and fair elections.
Analysts say the survey underscores Latin America’s shifting political mood — one that increasingly favors democratic reform and accountability in Venezuela, amid ongoing migration pressures and regional instability.
