Threshold. it s been that way, so what has changed since the debate last week? well, those thresholds have increased modestly. it is now 5% in four qualifying polls, up from 4%, or 7% in two qualifying polls from the early states. that s up from 6%. also, the donor threshold has increased from $200,000 to $225,000. that s a small increase and doesn t seem likely to exclude anyone, but those polling thresholds 5% is a number that only a handful of candidates have achieved. right. you mentioned that only five have qualified thus far, and only a couple more really are in the ball game here as we head into the deadline on january 10th. well, you know, as we look at this overall, there are nine candidates that fall below 5%. are we getting to this time where it s time for more to drop out of the race? well, i mean, that s a great question. certainly for candidates who haven t or are on the bubble of ....
