Poll: Will de Blasio make the first presidential debate?

Next month, 20 Democratic presidential candidates will participate in the first of a series of primary debates – and it remains unclear if New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio will be among them.

The mayor himself has acknowledged that he may not make the cut, and a Politico analysis found that 19 candidates – not including de Blasio – had already qualified for the 20 slots available.
