88.4% of respondents say it is 'very urgent' that chavismo leave power, per Meganálisis's August 2026 'Venezolanos al Límite' study
69.2% do not trust that Trump wants the best for Venezuelans, with only 9.7% expressing trust
80% consider the current Corpoelec model unviable and favor a private operator
The poll attributes declining Trump support to US engagement with the Delcy Rodríguez interim government and oil-focused deals
This item is a single-source opinion report: El Impulso Venezuela relays findings attributed to Meganálisis's August 2026 'Venezolanos al Límite' study, dated 13 September. The headline figure — 88.4% calling it 'very urgent' that chavismo leave power — is an assertion carried by the outlet, not an independently verified measurement in our corpus. Our per-claim corroboration probe has no matching record for this figure, and, as a limit of our own check, we cannot yet tell whether two sources report the same claim (0 of 24,929 claim keys cross sources, measured 2026-09-13). That is an absence in our corpus, not an absence in the world; the number should be read as a pollster's claim transmitted by an unclassified outlet, pending external comparison.
The internal structure of the item is uneven in evidentiary weight. The Corpoelec claim — 80% viewing the current model as unviable and favoring a private operator — carries 14 matching records inside the article, making it the most internally supported element, while the chavismo-urgency figure and the Trump-trust figure (69.2% distrust, 9.7% trust) each carry zero internal records. This asymmetry matters: the service-delivery finding is the most concrete and least personality-dependent, whereas the two political-attitude figures are the ones most exposed to framing, timing, and question wording. The Trump-trust result also cuts against a simple pro-opposition narrative, which is analytically useful — it suggests the poll is not uniformly directional and that Venezuelan opinion on external actors is distinct from opinion on domestic power.
On the source profile: El Impulso Venezuela is unclassified, so the item should be treated as a relay of Meganálisis's methodology and sampling, which we cannot inspect here. The listed falsifiers give the assessment its expiry conditions: a subsequent Meganálisis poll showing Trump trust above 20%, or support for chavismo leaving power below 70%, would materially revise the reading; a published electoral calendar from the 18th dialogue process would change the political context in which these attitudes are measured. Until then, the appropriate posture is to record the figures as asserted, weight the Corpoelec item more heavily on internal evidence, and avoid treating any of the three as corroborated.
The claims, made testable
- asserted — check unavailable 88.4% of respondents say it is 'very urgent' that chavismo leave power, per Meganálisis's August 2026 'Venezolanos al Límite' study (evidence: not measured)
- asserted — check unavailable 69.2% do not trust that Trump wants the best for Venezuelans, with only 9.7% expressing trust (evidence: not measured)

- A new Meganálisis poll shows support for chavismo leaving power below 70% (within 90 days — Meganálisis published studies)
- The 18th dialogue process produces a published electoral calendar (within 90 days — AsambleaVE / CNE announcements)
