Tulsi Lands 3rd Qualifying Poll--One Week until Deadline
Submitted by apenultimate on Sat, 09/21/2019 - 8:02pmA just-released CNN/Des Moines Register poll in Iowa (which is a debate-qualifying poll) shows Tulsi at 2% in Iowa.
A just-released CNN/Des Moines Register poll in Iowa (which is a debate-qualifying poll) shows Tulsi at 2% in Iowa.
The polls continue to roll in, and Tulsi continues to perform better than 1% in non-qualifying polls and 1% or below in all qualifying polls.
The latest bits of polling interest include a California primary poll from Emerson, where Tulsi scores 2%. Considering how large a state California is, and its new early placement in the Super Tuesday primary lineup, it's interesting to see her gaining some ground there.
For all those thinking the recent Emerson poll giving Tulsi 6% in New Hampshire was a fluke, here is a second poll confirming that 6% status:
What is interesting about this poll is that only Biden, Sanders, and Warren score above Tulsi. Everyone else is below her, including Harris and Buttigieg.
Tulsi Gabbard seems to be gaining significant ground in non-qualifying New Hampshire polls. The latest Emerson Poll of the state shows her at an all-time poll high of 6%.
Second Update:
The DNC has said they are only counting the ABC/Washington Post results for All responders, and therefore Tulsi only got 1%, and that does not count as a qualifying poll.
Very convenient for them.

Update to the original post below:
In Dover, New Hampshire yesterday, Tulsi announced she is in the competition all the way until the Democratic Convention next summer.
In the Economist/YouGov national poll, Tulsi measures as the first choice for 3% of respondents (of course a non-qualifying poll, see page 126):
Even though she will not be included in the 3rd DNC debate, upon her return from Indonesia where she was training with her Hawaii National Guard unit, Tulsi has indicated that we should not be discouraged and she has given every indication she will continue to campaign at this point:
She was in Iowa today, campaigning!
Well, folks, Tulsi needs 2 more polls at 2% or more from "qualified" polls to be included in the September debates by August 28.
There will only be one more qualifying poll (a Monmouth national poll) before the August 28 deadline that will appear on Monday. Ergo, Tulsi will not be included in the September debates, even if she hits 2% or more in the Monmouth poll. Historically, Tulsi has done worst in Monmouth polls.
CNN released a national poll today, where Tulsi measured the needed 2%:
Today, Tulsi also scored 2% in a Nevada Gravis poll, although I do not believe Gravis is one to qualify her for the third debate.
UPDATED: with 2 more polls--that don't count--where Tulsi achieved 2% in both polls.
One is the latest Economist/YouGov poll here.
