During the last few years the Cuban government has allowed more of its citizens to start their own small private businesses. Do you think people living in the US should be allowed to invest in these new independent small businesses in Cuba?

For each question the univariate tabulation is shown first, followed by crosstabulations with age, year left Cuba, born in or outside of Cuba, and registered voter status.

Each tabulation is repeated twice, once with and once without don't know, refuse to answer, and not asked (skipped). In some tables those are indicated by abbreviations .d, .n, and . respectively.
