A new Quinnipiac University poll out of Iowa on Wednesday surveying likely Democratic caucusgoers brought good tidings for Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) and Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.)

The survey cemented Gabbard, who received 3 percent of the vote, as the 10th presidential candidate to qualify for the November Democratic primary debate. Meanwhile, Klobuchar, who had already clinched the November event, secured 5 percent in the survey, becoming the sixth to make the December debate stage. She joins former Vice President Joe Biden, South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, and Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), and Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) as the only candidates to do so at this point.
