Looks like this poll was DUd:

Poll Indicates Americans Support Economic Embargo Against Cuba

(CNSNews.com) - A poll released Monday finds clear support for continuing the long-term economic embargo against Cuba.

... Fifty-six percent of those polled said they support continuing the embargo, while 27 percent said the embargo should be lifted regardless of whether the Castro regime allows democratic reforms. Seventeen percent of those polled said they were unsure.

"Once again, this shows the difficulty the anti-embargo forces have in convincing Americans that the embargo should be lifted," said Robert Moran, vice president of Fabrizio, McLaughlin and Associates in a statement.

... The survey was released one day before a coalition of pro-democracy and Cuban-American groups was to gather in Washington for a two-day "free Cuba" event, comprised of rallies, press conferences and discussions. The intent is to pressure lawmakers not to lift the embargo.

... However, other Cuban American groups will hold a press conference on Capitol Hill on Wednesday to call on Congress to lift trade and travel restrictions against Cuba.

3. The "poll" is probably nothing more than propaganda

The question was probably:

Do you think the U.S. should stand up against dirty communist killers?

Ask Americans this question:

Do you think the government should arbitrarily ban you from going where you want to go in the world?

You'll get about 99% against the current Cuban policy.

It's all in how you ask the question.
