DNC Announces Details For Third Presidential Primary Debate

Each poll must be sponsored by an approved organization, which presently includes the following: Associated Press, ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Des Moines Register, Fox News, Monmouth University, NBC News, New York Times, National Public Radio (NPR), Quinnipiac University, University of New Hampshire, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Washington Post, and Winthrop University. Any candidate’s four qualifying polls must be conducted by different organizations, or if by the same organization, must be in different geographical areas. The DNC and its media partners reserve the right to add a Nevada-specific poll sponsor to this list in the near future.

A-rated poll, according to FiveThirtyEight, and Fox News polls have been quoted here regularly. highplainsdem Oct 2019 #3

I was just going to post exactly that - they're rated A, and Fox News polls.... George II Oct 2019 #12

Yes, interesting. cwydro Oct 2019 #20

If it's an A rated poll by 538, then it's squeaky clean... that means no manipulation regardless Thekaspervote Oct 2019 #28

Examples of Republicans "pushing hard" and "campaigning" for Biden? emulatorloo Oct 2019 #35

South Carolina has 54 delegates... George II Oct 2019 #10
