It depends what you understand as "worse". It's getting more expensive as the black market exchange rate stagnates since a couple of months but inflation continuous on fast path. Security wise it's the same, but for locals it's getting more and more difficult to find food and hygiene products, not to talk about medicines. If you live in hotels and restaurants this will not affect you differently than in March. I was in Venezuela in early July. The only other aspects to consider are: there are more and more ATMs without money especially outside of Caracas and police at control posts are trying harder to extorsionate some of your dollars. Just don't give in and you're fine.
