The campaign says the listed polls “meet methodology” required by the party and are run by organizations with a passing rate according to FiveThirtyEight.
“Some are more highly rated or more accurate over time than some of the polls that do count,” the letter continues.
According to a copy of the form the campaign submitted to the DNC shared with The Hill, Moulton reached 1 percent in the following polls: Emerson, Rasmussen/HarrisX, Morning Consult, McLaughlin & Associates, Hill/HarrisX, Economist/YouGov, Crooked Media/Change Research.
None of those polls are among the DNC’s approved organizations list.
