Poll supports ending Cuba embargo

According to an opinion poll released in early February, the majority of Miami's Latino population disagrees with the US embargo against Cuba.

The Miami Herald published the results of the survey, for which the Strategic Research Corporation polled 4800 people of Latin American descent in 10 US cities.

Of those questioned, 40% were against the embargo and a little more than 23% were in favour, while 37% said they had no opinion. In Miami, where 59% of those polled were of Cuban origin, 40% of respondents opposed the embargo and 36.4% favoured it.

Lisandro Perez, director of the Institute for Cuban Research at the University of Florida, said the latest poll confirms results of a survey his institute conducted last July. Feelings against the US embargo ran highest among the younger and more educated Cubans and among those recently arrived. [Radio Havana via Pegasus.]
