Do you think the U.S. government should continue its policy that puts significant restrictions on
travel to Cuba that allows only a small number of U.S. citizens from travelling there, or do you think
the U.S. government should change that policy and allow all U.S. citizens to travel to Cuba under the
same rules that apply to travel to almost all other countries?

METHODOLOGY
A total of 1,011 adults were interviewed by telephone nationwide by live interviewers calling both landline and cell phones. All
respondents were asked questions concerning basic demographics, and the entire sample was weighted to reflect national Census
figures for gender, race, age, education, region of country, and telephone usage. Among the entire sample, 28% described
themselves as Democrats, 22% described themselves as Republicans, and 50% described themselves as Independents or members
of another party
Crosstabs on the following pages only include results for subgroups with enough unweighted cases to produce a sampling error of
+/- 8.5 percentage points or less. Some subgroups represent too small a share of the national population to produce crosstabs with
an acceptable sampling error. Interviews were conducted among these subgroups, but results for groups with a sampling error
larger than +/-8.5 percentage points are not displayed and instead are denoted with "N/A".

CNN/ORC International Poll -- December 18 to 21, 2014
Question 27
Do you think the U.S. government should continue its policy that puts significant restrictions on
travel to Cuba that allows only a small number of U.S. citizens from travelling there, or do you
think the U.S. government should change that policy and allow all U.S. citizens to travel to Cuba
under the same rules that apply to travel to almost all other countries?
