We have another thread, linking politico claiming that Rubio won a poll conducted by Frank Luntz and Rand came in last.

Seemed like many RPF members bought into it too and quickly hopped on the "Attack Frank Luntz" because Politico Reported some whacky $#@! from secret sources but didn't bother to ask Luntz himself. I thought it was fishy and I looked it up.
That was never the case, according to another article that actually quotes Frank Luntz on this specific issue:

Many, including Bloomberg Politics' Michael Bender and Julie Bykowicz, had reported that Florida Senator Marco Rubio did himself the most good. Vogel and Parti reported on a "straw poll" that determined the extent of Paul's problem, conducted by Frank Luntz in a breakout session.
"Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul—who received the least enthusiastic response from donors during a Sunday night forum of prospective candidates that also featured Rubio and Texas Senator Ted Cruz—finished last in Luntz’s poll," they reported.
"It wasn't a poll," wrote Luntz over e-mail. "It was a random question. It doesn't deserve any attention. It was only to a few people."
Luntz just asked some donors who showed up to his session who'd impressed them most. Yet the "few" apparently amounted to more than 100 people; in the wake of the event, not many people are following Luntz's distinction between an actual focus group and a quick read of the room. It doesn't change the basic truth that Paul did not blow away the donors, despite a steady campaign to portray himself as the natural choice of libertarians.
