In the last election, Maduro claimed roughly 50% of the popular vote, the opposition results showed it was more like 30%. I am inclined to think that the real number is closer to 30%, but certainly under 50% at least.
I guess in a country with with almost 30 million people, that is still a lot of people. It might just come down to who has more guns and money.

Every dictator has enough support to keep them in power against the will of the majority, what that means in reality is a very very committed well armed 30% or so, which becomes the beginning of the 'resistance'
