Amy Klobuchar sez Cubans are unhappy w/their gov't.

Oh, never mind facts ...


Cubans Are More Satisfied With Their Political System Than Americans Are

https://newrepublic.com/article/121502/cuban-poll-shows-more-political-satisfaction-americans

According to a January 2014 Gallup poll, 65 percent of Americans are “dissatisfied with the nation's system of government and how well it works.” Meanwhile, 52 percent of Cubans are dissatisfied with their political system, according to the new poll by Univision/Fusion.

More than two-thirds of Cubans—68 percent—are satisfied with their health care system. About 66 percent of Americans said the same in a November 2014 Gallup poll.

Seventy-two percent of Cubans are satisfied with their education system, while an August 2014 Gallup poll found that less than half of Americans—48 percent—are “completely” or “somewhat” satisfied with the quality of K-12 education. (Americans’ satisfaction increases to 75 percent when asked about their own children’s education.)

Sorta like the person on the street interviews comparing the favorability of the ACA to Obamacare.
People generally disliked Obamacre, but liked tha ACA.
