It's not an opinion, it's an observation. I have no opinion about the level of support for Maduro. I've read numerous articles (well, five or six) that indicate there is a lot of "loyalist" (i.e. pro-Maduro) support and demonstrations. Some of them may just be anti-American, rather than pro-Maduro. There are also lots of demonstrations in support of his kidnapping. I don't have solid numbers for either group.
A quick check does indicate he is not very popular as politicians go, with most of his support coming from the military and the former Chavez supporters. Given that, I'd say we were both wrong. It's not really equivalent, but it's not overwhelming, either. Thirty percent (in a fair election) was enough to put the National Socialists in power in Germany. If a fair election was held, he would probably have lost to the other guy. The best numbers I could find was that he lost the last election ~60% to ~30%. A "landslide", but not "overwhelming".
Though we are talking semantics. To me, your statement was an exaggeration, but I admit I was wrong about "comparable". His support is less than 2:1.
