Castro first debate drawing tier

[edit]

I don't think that was initially a typo; as far as I can tell, by the time the drawing took place Castro had 3 polls that were all at 2%. At the same time, in trying to do due diligence and find a source on who was in which tier for the first debate draw, the lack of press at the event poses something of a problem. This Politico article and this FiveThirtyEight article (both from June 14) list out eight candidates for the first (2% or above) tier: "Biden, Booker, Buttigieg, Harris, Klobuchar, O’Rourke, Sanders and Warren." This leaves out Castro, who should have already had his third 2% result from this CNN poll, released June 4 (on top of this Fox poll from May and this Monmouth poll of Iowa from April).

In the absence of a source saying who was actually in which tier from the event itself, it's not clear to me if we should rely on the sources indicating Castro would have been in the second tier, or the apparent fact that his polling should have placed him in the first tier. Does anyone have a more authoritative listing of who was in which tier, or a notion of which should actually be used?Gambling8nt (talk) 15:43, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
