Renew U.S.-Cuba Ties - Pew Poll results
Viva Black Beans and Rice! Viva Salsa! Viva La Revolucion!

http://pewresearch.org/pubs/1164/carbon-cap-gays-in-the-military-cuba-diplomatic-relations



A narrow majority of Americans (52%) believe that the United States should re-establish diplomatic relations with Cuba, which were cut off nearly half a century ago following the revolution that propelled Fidel Castro's regime into power. A third (33%) oppose re-establishing ties with Cuba. Gallup surveys in recent years showed somewhat more support for renewing diplomatic relations with Cuba (61% in 2008, 67% in 2006).

College graduates favor re-establishing diplomatic relations with Cuba by a wide margin (63% to 24%); those with some college education have similar views about this proposal (61% favor, 25% oppose). By contrast, those with no more than a high school education are evenly divided -- 41% say the United States should renew ties with Cuba while 42% oppose this step.

About twice many liberal Democrats as conservative Republicans favor re-establishing diplomatic relations with Cuba (73% vs. 36%). About half of conservative and moderate Democrats (54%), independents (53%) and moderate and liberal Republicans (50%) say the United States should restore ties with Cuba.

2. Beat me to it. I was going to point that out.
And among the people who are unsure, if they had the facts explained to them most would probably support it. The throwbacks who are still askeered of commies are a dwindling group.

3. Please, please, can we be sane about Cuba now?
Do we still have to be mad that they nationalized their banks?

7. I'm sure they are just waiting for Castro to kick the bucket.

And then the powers that be will have an epiphany.
