I would rely more on South Florida for this information; the Cuban population in Union City (once known as Havana-on-the-Hudson) has dropped to only about 10% in the past few decades, replaced almost entirely by Puerto Ricans, then Dominicans, now increasingly Mexicans and Central Americans.
But there does seem to have been a big swing to Obama among Cubans for somewhat mysterious reasons. Declining significance of Castro can't be the main cause--that would suggest a smooth, constant trend rather than a sharp swing, but there wasn't much movement to Obama among Cubans in 2008 (some, but not more than the country), or for that matter to the Democrats in earlier elections.
