Poll: Most approve of Obama's Cuba visit

Research from YouGov shows that Americans are generally happy with the transformation in relations between Washington and Havana. Most Americans (55%) support the decision to re-establish full diplomatic relations and just under half (48%) favor an end to the trade embargo. Only 19% oppose diplomatic relations and 22% oppose full trade between Cuba and the United States.

Obama’s decision to visit Cuba as part of a broader tour of Latin America is more controversial, however. Most Americans (51%) support his decision to stop off in Havana, but a third of the country (34%) oppose it. Democrats (82%) and independents (46%) approve, but over two-thirds of Republicans (69%) disapprove.
