Structure of Presentation

For each question presented, respondents are categorized into four

groups:

2. Responses by age categories

3. Responses by Migration wave (before and after 1995) and nativity

(birth outside of Cuba--second and third generations)

4. Voter Registration by Party or No Party Affiliation

Response Patterns to Watch For

The older respondents, the pre-1995 migrants and registered Republicans

cluster as more supportive of isolationist policies and attitudes.

The younger respondents, Cuban-Americans born outside of Cuba, and

registered Democrats cluster as more supportive of engagement policies.

Non-citizens, a majority of whom are recent arrivals, also tend to cluster

with those more supportive of engagement policies.

General Takeaways from the 2020 FIU Cuba Poll

The community is divided on how to deal with Cuba.

There is an increase of support for the isolationist policies reinitiated by the

Trump administration and for the continuation of the economic embargo.

Majority support remains for the continuation or resumption of some

engagement policies (example: airline service throughout the island, selling

of food and medicine, maintaining diplomatic relations.)

Trump is on track to receive approximately 60% of the Cuban American vote

in November and his approval rating is high his handling of key national

issues.

The Republican party is receiving an infusion of new energy from the most

recently arrived Cuba-Americans.
