Democratic debate appears set for 10 candidates after Tom Steyer fails to qualify in latest polls

With hours to go before the deadline to make the Democratic presidential debate stage next month, two new surveys did not give billionaire Tom Steyer what he needed.

both found Steyer with less on than one percent support. He needed one more poll showing him at 2 percent or higher to qualify.

Steyer has spent nearly $12 million on TV and digital advertising since entering the race last month, according to Advertising Analytics data provided to NBC News, more than six times his closest Democratic competitor. Candidates have until midnight Wednesday to show the Democratic National Committee they have met both thresholds to qualify: Earning donations from 130,000 people and at least four polls showing them at 2 percent or more.

While it's still possible a new poll could come out before that deadline, no pollster has announced intentions to do so yet. The 10 candidates who have qualified already are: Joe Biden; Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren; Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders; New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker; Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana; former Housing Secretary Julián Castro; California Sen. Kamala Harris; Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar; former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke; and entrepreneur Andrew Yang.
