Carly Fiorina has surged in the polls after her strong performance in the so-called kiddie debate — the debate for candidates who weren’t in the top 10 in public opinion polls to qualify for the main Fox News debate on Aug. 6. She has moved up to sixth place in the Huffington Post Pollster average.

But that still might not be enough to get into the next debate for the top 10 candidates, on Sept. 16 on CNN.

CNN will choose the 10 candidates who lead in an average of select live interview national polls conducted between July 16 and Sept. 10.

The problem for Mrs. Fiorina? That will include nine polls before the first presidential debate, when she held virtually no support in the polls.
