65,000% inflation is inconsistent with 67.8% support
Maduro tanked the economy to the point it was at 20 years ago
Plus large scale human rights violations
Plus social unrest
Winning a third term with that record is unlikely

Nicolás Maduro assumed power in 2013
In 2018 the Venezuela inflation rate averaged 65,000% p/a
That year Maduro was declared winner of the Presidential election with 67.8% of the vote
The election was judged free and fair by Russia, China and North Korea
The Venezuelan government stopped publishing inflation figures that same year
Inflation is currently guesstimated at around 100-300% p/a
In March 2024 Maduro ordered an increase in the minimum wage of 30%, the first increase since 2022
The day before the 2024 Presidential election Maduro ordered a further 50% increase, bringing the minimum wage to $30 / month
Maduro was declared winner of the Presidential election with 51% of the vote
Human Rights Watch and the UN estimate Venezuelan security forces conducted 20,000+ extrajudicial killings during Maduro's rule
The Venezuelan government refer to these as "Operations for the Liberation of the People"
