Tom Steyer appears to qualify for next Democratic debate after new polls.
The qualification threshold also relies on donor information self-released by the campaigns.
Candidates have to raise money from 225,000 unique donors and hit one of two polling thresholds in order to make the debate stage. To meet the polling qualification, a candidate must register at least 5 percent support in polling in four separate polls, taken either nationally or in any of the four early states of Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada or South Carolina. Or, the polling threshold may be met by a candidate reaching 7 percent in two polls taken in any of those early states.
There has not been much recent polling in Nevada or South Carolina, but the new results represent a significant increase from Steyer's standing in previous polls in those states. Steyer's campaign had previously announced it hit the unique donor threshold.In Nevada, Steyer has spent $10.4 million of the $10.6 million spent by all the Democratic candidates on TV and radio ads. And in South Carolina, he's spent $14 million of the $16.
While former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has hit the polling requirement, he is not soliciting individual donors. That decision all-but guarantees he won’t be on the debate stage in January.
