"Do you have a positive or negative opinion of Marco Rubio?"
"Uh???" (no opinion)

"Do you approve of Marco Rubio's job approval as United States Senator?"
"Oh!!!!" (approve)

This sounds about right. Rubio and Portman are probably fine.

But but... some left-wing, no-name, lightweight, city councilman is going to defeat that far-right extremist Portman in a landslide!!

Okay, so since everyone seems to be unknown, and this is the source of so much contention about polls and election survivability, are there any Senators that are known???

Probably some of the bigger name Senators, such as Cruz and Warren.
