Tulsi Gabbard Campaign Charges DNC Deliberately Ignoring Poll Putting Her At Six Percent

Outsider 2020 Democratic presidential contender Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) lashed out at the Democratic National Committee late Friday, charging that the DNC was deliberately ignoring a recent Boston Globe/Suffolk University poll putting Gabbard at 6% — her highest showing in the presidential contest so far.

The Suffolk/Globe poll, released November 25th, found Gabbard polling at 6% nationwide, a significant jump in position from other, earlier national polls, which put Gabbard between 2% and 3%, well out of both the first and second tiers of candidates. In the Suffolk/Globe poll, Gabbard competes directly with second-tier candidates like Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) and polls just behind the four recognized front-runners: former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), and South Bend mayor Pete Buttigieg, all of whom cleared double digits.
