Page 8 - Polling Threshold News Today

Meet the fund-raising threshold, but theres some question about whether or not theyre going to meet that polling threshold or not. so i think that that -- depending on how that goes we definitely are going to see a fitting of that. and we havent seen that much movement in terms of the polling although we have seen candidates who maybe arent doing that well pollwise, able to raise the funding to keep themselves on the stage. >> errin, let me note what you said as someone who once lived in philade...

Meet that polling threshold or not. so i think that that -- depending on how that goes we definitely are going to see a fitting of that. and we havent seen that much movement in terms of the polling although we have seen candidates who maybe arent doing that well pollwise, able to raise the funding to keep themselves on the stage. >> errin, let me note what you said as someone who once lived in philadelphia. we indeed have been watching whats going on there all day and all night. we have our fin...

Spoke to betos campaign and im told that he is 100% not running for senate, period, because he thinks that he is the best candidate in this 2020 field to win texas and also that frankly if president trump is able to win texas again next year by nine points then a democrat is not going to be able to beat john cornyn in that environment. sew feels that he is really the best candidates to take texas for the democrats and the nomination and then to win in november. the september and october qualific...

Afternoon at the famous des moines register soap box. its where politicians stand on an actual soap box and give their speech. the governor steve bullock from montana will be speaking here. so even though the polls give a sense of where the race is right now, iowa front-runners are often fleeting. howard dean was leading this back in the 2004 campaign. hillary clinton was leading it in the 2008 campaign. so it certainly -- theres at least six more months. kate, another headline out of this poll,...

Lets cowboy up! exhilarating speed. woo! precision control. woo! maximum reliability. access denied.

I think detroit is actually a much stronger showing for the former vice president, particularly that one exchange he had with senator gillibrand. i think other folks that have the potential to continue to have that breakout moment are including gillibrand minus the exchange she had with senator biden. i think you also saw the likes of mario williamson make her points very well. but its all about senator elizabeth warren and senator bernie sanders. i put this question, this is the second point il...

Forward to the next debate in houston. we know at least one more person will be there because the threshold has gotten a lot harder for some of these candidates. what have you learned about who else is joining that stage, ali? >> well you mentioned the threshold. when you put it up to at least 2% polling and 130,000 donors youre effectively doubling the things these candidates need in order to make the debate stage. it threatens to have the number of people who make the stage and can make their ...

So youre having a party and this artificial rule culling the herd. i dont think thats democratic with a small d. at the same time theres nobody who thinks having two nights with more than ten people each night is a good thing or the party or good thing for any of the people who might eventually be the candidate. so, again, im bothered by it a little bit but i also think its better for the democratic party. >> we go through the list, by the way, candidates who were there this week, seth wasnt the...

Back. like, we all know who joe biden is. im not sure last night changed anyones opinion as to who joe biden is. >> why is it funny to you? >> its funny because, you know, we hype up the debates and the narratives that develop out of the debates and then to see that joe biden to snap back to where he was and everyone snap back to where they were, i think peoples perception of the candidates is very resilient. >> number one, based on what you said last night, would you support any of the democrat...

Constituency that important, would you have to get votes there. >> do we suspect after the second debate well see one or two more candidates drop out of this thing? >> i think well see a lot more than one or two drop out. i can quickly show you, anybody whos sitting here, bennet, gillibrand, de blasio, williamson, riley, hickenlooper, all of them are in grave danger of not hitting the polling threshold for the fall debates. if they dont make a move off this debate, they may all be gone. >> thank...
