Quinnipiac says it will release a Democratic presidential race poll tomorrow at 8 a.m., which might be the final chance for Democratic candidates to make the DNC debate criteria.
Tom Steyer needs to reach at least 2% support in this poll to make the cut.
If this is indeed the last poll before tomorrow’s qualification deadline, it means the rest of the candidates are officially shut out. Tulsi Gabbard and Marianne Williamson each need to reach the threshold in more than one poll to qualify.
