    Michael Tracey Retweeted The Debate Tracker  🎃

    There is no reason why a variety of metrics can't be used to gauge voter enthusiasm and interest. Placing such a premium on a small selection of polls, especially when some of those results basically amount to rounding errors, is arbitraryhttps://twitter.com/TrackerDebate/status/1160978413240422403 …

    Basing qualification on Google searches would be risky, and possibly prone to manipulation. Donor counts and polls are not perfect metrics, but they more secure and easily quantifiable.

        Agreed that a variety of metrics would be better than just polls. For example, the DNC could have maintained a donor-only path for the September debates. There are plenty that could be used before resorting to online or social media based ones.

        amen: must get 2% or more in a poll with a margin of error of 4% has got to be some of the dumbest nonsense i've ever heard.

        Polls are imperfect metrics when only the elders of the country pick up a phone. We need modern policies for modern times. Are there any sociologist studies being done on modern societal trends?

        Small selection of polls is more easily controlled.

        Really don't believe that polling by telephone is accurate any more. Changes in patterns of phone use. But can't see any better polling method in the works.

        They could do by mail polling from their voting and donor databases if the goal is to choose who the party voters support. Or even provide each voter on their database a unique identifier that works with phone or internet. The sample would be larger, and also track enthusiasm

        The DNC might have also set one more metric: Keep out the candidates who openly challenge the Empire. It worked with Gravel, and it looks like it might work with Gabbard.

        I think it is more so he sees that the candidates who can make an impact on the country need to have a fair shot at getting their voice out. Williamson, Yang, and even Sanders do not get the same treatment as the center of the political spectrum. It's not just Gabbard.

        Preach! As horrendously wrong polls were in 2016, there has yet to be a accounting or attempt to revamp and repair them.

        yeah the DNC should be using polls from Drudge Report and from Facebook to determine who is popular
