Despite an attempted makeover and almost four years as Opposition Leader, most Victorian voters still don't know who Daniel Andrews is.

Mr Andrews has been dogged by persistent claims that voters do not know who he is. He recently attempted to soften his image with a slight name change from Daniel to Dan Andrews in some campaign material, but it seems to have had little impact.

The street survey, conducted last week by Swinburne University journalism students as part of the state election reporting project Unipollwatch found disturbingly low levels of recognition of Victoria's most senior political figures.
