Four candidates have been designated for the undercard debate (Chris Christie, Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum and Bobby Jindal) which will air at 7 p.m. ET.

The four polls used in the averages to determine eligibility (candidates scoring 2.5 percent or higher were eligible for the 9 p.m. debate, while candidates falling below that threshold but clearing 1 percent earned places in the undercard) based on an average of the four most recent national polls were conducted by the following organizations: FOX News, Investor’s Business Daily/TIPP, Quinnipiac University, and The Wall Street Journal/NBC News.
