It looks like 30-40%; at _this_ point people are likely seeing this as a proxy for "do you support Dear Leader, and all his works", rather than really a poll on Venezuela. If Trump ate a live baby on TV he'd still get like 30% approval on that act in polls.
That said, that may change if it gets messy. See Iraq War, public approval and subsequent disavowal of approval thereof. Very hard to find anyone who will admit to having supported that these days, but at peak about 70% of Americans polled did. That support for this Venezuela thing is _already_ so low is a fairly bad sign for it.
