A new poll shows that three-quarters of Americans surveyed think the US should end its five-decade estrangement with the Cuba.

According to a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll conducted April 3 to 5, 64 percent of the 1,023 Americans surveyed by telephone thought the US government should allow citizens to travel to Cuba.

71 percent of those polled said that the US should re-establish diplomatic relations with Cuba, while 27 percent opposed such a move.

Both questions had a sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

The Obama administration has signaled that new rules on family travel and remittances to Cuba may be announced before President Obama goes to the Summit of the Americas on April 17.
