Limiting factors for Fox News' 2016 GOP Presidential candidate debate remain unclear since the network announced that, with such a large Republican field of 2016 Presidential candidates, not every GOP candidate will be allowed to participate in the August 6 debate.

The prime-time televised debate, to be held in Cleveland, Ohio, will include only the top 10 candidates in national polls. The candidates who do not make that cut will be allowed to take part in a non-televised forum earlier in the day.

New Hampshire Republican activists, who are the first in the nation to vote in a 2016 primary, have already expressed their frustration with the fact that Fox will not allow all candidates to participate in the televised debate. The controversy continues to grow with the latest announcement from Fox News.

In order for candidates to qualify for the prime-time stage, Fox News is selecting the top 10 candidates from only five national polls. The polls "must be conducted by major, nationally recognized organizations that use standard methodological techniques," Fox News officials said in a statement.

So what's the problem? Not only are more than five national polls, but many polls use a variation of questions and subjects during polling that skew outcomes.

For instance, the Washington Examiner pointed out that "out of five of the latest polls, two of them would put former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, a longshot for the GOP nomination, into the top 10 and access to the debate.
