Enthusiasm for Rubio Slips Among GOP Voters
Wednesday, May 08, 2013
Senator Marco Rubio, a man with eyes on the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, remains popular with voters. But he has lost some ground while championing a comprehensive immigration reform plan.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 68% of Republican voters have a favorable opinion of Rubio, but that’s down slightly from 73% in mid-February. Only 10% of GOP voters have an unfavorable opinion of him while 23% are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
The survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted on May 5-6, 2013 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.
