First Read calculates the polling averages from the last five national polls to see who will get to participate in the first GOP presidential debate on August 6:
Trump 16.8%
Bush 14.8%
Walker 9.8%
Rubio 6.2%
Huckabee 6.2%
Paul 6.2%
Carson 5.8%
Cruz 5.2%
Christie 2.8%
Perry 2.4%
Not making the cut:
Santorum 1.8%
Kasich 1.6%
Jindal 1.4%
Fiorina 0.8%
Graham 0.2%
The Upshot also has a good look at who could make the first debate when you consider the polling sampling errors.
