Democratic presidential hopeful Cory Booker’s campaign will mount an all-out effort to boost his anemic poll numbers in a attempt to qualify for the December debate, his campaign manager said in a memo to the U.S. senator’s supporters on Tuesday. “We are reorienting our entire campaign apparatus into a persuasion effort to… reach the voters we need to meet the polling threshold,” Addisu Demissie wrote. The national Democratic Party set higher standards for December’s sixth debate, asking candidates to reach 200,000 individual donors and either 6% ranking in two early-state polls or 4% in four national or early-state polls.
