CNBC sets rules for next GOP debate: 3% floor for main debate, 1% for kids table

There will almost definitely be more FOX and CNN polls before the deadline, and maybe even two from each. I'm guessing ABC and Bloomberg won't have a new polls out in time. There's a good chance that CBS releases a poll before the deadline, but NBC (based on past release trends) won't have a new one out unless they specifically put out a new poll earlier than usual because it's their own debate.

I expect a new CNN poll sometime around next Monday.

Politico is reporting that the CNBC debate will not have opening or closing statements and that some of the campaigns are pissed off.

Good. The more time spent actually debating the issues, the better.

Why start now?

What's everybody's predictions on whether or not they think Kasich and Christie will make the main debate?

It's basically impossible for them to not make it in at this point because of the way the polls are averaged.

I feel like a CNN poll is coming out tomorrow, so that'll probably be his last chance.

Edit: CNN poll was just for Dems. ABC has a poll tomorrow for Dems, I don't know of any more polls being done for GOP besides the NBC one that just came out (Graham and Gilmore at 0)

Jindal thinking of skipping the kiddie table debate.
