FIU Cuba Poll 2016 table

Since 1966, the entrance of Cubans into the United States has been regulated by the Cuban Adjustment Act. This law stipulates that Cuban citizens and their accompanying spouses and children are immediately eligible to receive federal public assistance in form of welfare, food stamps and Medicaid, and can get a green card and become residents of the US one year after arriving in the country. These benefits are not automatic for other immigrant groups. Do you strongly favor, mostly favor, mostly oppose or strongly oppose the current policy of accepting Cubans into the US?

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.
