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

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.
