New Poll: U.S. Citizens Oppose War on Cuba

A poll commissioned by the Center for Economic and Policy Research found that 64% of Americans oppose the U.S. going to war with Cuba, with only 15% in support. Among those who expressed a view, 81% opposed. Independent voters — considered key swing voters ahead of midterms — oppose a Cuba war 68% to 25%.

The poll comes as Trump has repeatedly threatened military action against Cuba, most recently on May 1 — the same day he signed the new executive order hardening sanctions — when he said the U.S. would be “taking over” Cuba “almost immediately.”
