A poll released by the Miami Herald yesterday found that President Bush leads Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry among Hispanic voters in South Florida by a margin of 64 percent to 25 percent.
Among Cuban Americans, more than 75 percent backed Mr. Bush, compared with 15 percent for Mr. Kerry.
But more than a third of the voters disapproved of the job Mr. Bush has done "promoting democracy and regime change" in Fidel Castro's Cuba.
It may not matter in the voting booth, though.
"There may be some disapproval among Cubans about the way the president is handling the issue, but there is absolutely no indication that it would prevent them from voting for him," said Florida-based Republican pollster Neil Newhouse.
Democratic strategists believe Cuban Americans are critical in the presidential race. President Clinton won 40 percent of their vote in 1996. Mr. Bush won 80 percent in 2000, but won Florida by just 537 votes.
The survey of 400 Hispanic voters in Miami-Dade and Broward counties was conducted Feb. 27-29.
