Some interesting statistics from a poll of Cuban-Americans
Some interesting statistics from this poll [PDF link] of Cuban-Americans:
- Only 61% of those who came to the US in the 1980’s and after are registered Republican; it’s 81% for the 1970’s and before.
- Only 13% say they would return to Cuba if freedom and democracy were reinstated.
- Only 45% oppose allowing American citizens to travel to Cuba!
- Only 53% support continuing the embargo on Cuba!!
More analysis from Henry and DeFede. Questions for thought: For how many different reasons might the 13% above be a much lower number then how many would actually consider returning if freedom and democracy were reinstated? How might the group of people who refuse to talk to surveyors feel differently about these issues then those who agree to do so? And how does a pollster get their list of names and phone numbers, anyway?
