2024 FIU Cuba Poll

From the Foreword: “Four FIU Cuba Polls have been conducted since Donald Trump first appeared on the ballot for President of the United States in 2016. In the foreword of the previous Cuba polls, we predicted that the intensification of the isolationist policies would likely be reflected in the community as attitudes tend to adjust to the policy frameworks established by the leadership in Washington. We were not mistaken.

“Relations between the United States and Cuba since the last Cuba Poll in 2022, have not followed the path of engagement. While the Cuban American community supports a few pro-engagement policies, the overall tendency is to support sanctions and isolation for the island.

“The findings of the poll indicate a continued retrenchment of traditional hard-line views towards U.S.-Cuban relations. While support for the embargo has decreased slightly since the last poll in 2022, the mood of the community remains one of adherence to the policies designed to isolate the Cuban government. The collateral damage inflicted on the Cuban people is only partially mitigated by the continued support of policies which increase or maintain contacts between families and friends in the diaspora and on the island.”
