...and 40% didn’t know him.

Hmmm... I wonder why?

Maybe the lame-stream media are afraid he might become popular with Hispanics, if they were to get to know him, so they report as little as possible about/on Rubio. Can't take a chance on anyone leaving the Plantation, you know!!

Re: “Maybe the lame-stream media are afraid he might become popular with Hispanics.”

No chance of that.

Republican Governor Susana Martinez of New Mexico, who is a Mexican-American, received just 39% of the Hispanic vote in 2010.

Has anyone here seen a breakdown of the Florida Hispanic vote for Rubio?

Factor out Cubans, and I'll bet Rubio got less than 40% of the Hispanic vote, too.

One more thing.....

The average American Hispanic feels no ethnic connection to some white, upper middle class, Cuban guy.
