Well, Chris Sununu had some good news in the RealClearPolitics polling – his polling doubled! But as in all things, context is absolutely necessary. It’s like the Greenies when they boast that the amount of electricity from Renewables has doubled.
Sure, a doubling from a starting point of almost zero is still pretty much “not much”. And that’s the same for Sununu – not much support still, as the RCP polling shows him reaching 1.0% from 0.5 % last week:

He’s at least beating Asa Hutchinson (re: Why?), who formally entered the race last week but only by 1/10 of a point. However, he’s even with Younkin, who also announced last week – that he wasn’t going to run for President, so there’s that. Again, as a comparison, I’m going to continue to use political newcomer Vivek Ramaswamy who has bounced to 2.3% from 0.9% last week.
As always, Sununu’s own words about setting THE threshold in making it to the debate stage:
Hangover: An “Evergreen” statement by Sununu himself on low-rated wannabes:
Mr. Sununu also warned minor candidates not to carve up the field.
“I think there’s a lot of hope and opportunity for good candidates to get in, drive the message where it needs to be,” he said. “But the discipline is getting out, too. The discipline and saying, ‘Look, you’re only polling at 5%, you got to get out.’ We don’t want a crowded field here.”
At this point in time, Sununu would have his wishes as of the eleven candidates (official, unofficial) being tracked, only Trump, DeSantis, and Pence (combined 76% of the field in polling) would find a debating podium placed in front of them.
