To get to the GOP presidential debate stage, candidates must hit certain fundraising and polling requirements, as per the RNC.
A key stipulation is that candidates must poll 1% or higher in 3 national polls with 800 or more registered Republican likely voters.
Additionally, the RNC said the polls must each survey at least 800 registered likely Republican voters for it to count.
As Insider's Walt Hickey previously wrote, surveys containing "800 registered likely Republican voters" are not easy to come by.
It's also, coincidentally, the only survey tracked by FiveThirtyEight with more than 800 registered likely Republican voters that has Hutchinson and former New Jersey Gov.
