60 Minutes/Vanity Fair Poll: November Edition

  • Who is Marco Rubio?

Marco Rubio is not a film director (five percent), or a Cuban musician (seven percent) or an endurance swimmer (eight percent) or even a ballplayer (14 percent) - although the name fits like a glove. Twenty-five percent of Americans knew that he is a U.S. Senator from Florida. But if he harbors aspirations for national political office which some say he does, he better start working on the 41 percent of Americans who say they have never heard of him.

This poll was conducted at the CBS News interviewing facility among a random sample of 1,012 adults nationwide, interviewed by telephone Sept. 28 - Oct. 2, 2011. Phone numbers were dialed from random digit dial samples of both standard land-line and cell phones. The error due to sampling for results based on the entire sample could be plus or minus three percentage points. The error for subgroups is higher.
