The second 2016 Republican Presidential primary debate will be held in the Reagan Presidential Library. Nancy Reagan sent invitations out to 16 of the 17 Republican candidates for the debate. The only candidate that was not invited was former Virginia Governor Jim Gilmore, this is because one of the debate requirements is you must be polling at least 1%. As of right now Gilmore is below 1%. For the debate, the candidates that will be participating will be split up into two debates. One debate will have the top 10 candidates based on an average of recent polls. The debate will include the candidates who meet the minimum polling requirement of 1%. As of right now the candidates who will be participating in each debate is exactly the same as the Fox News debate with the exception of Jim Gilmore. As of right now Jeb Bush, Ben Carson, Chris Christie, Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee, John Kasich, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, Donald Trump, and Scott Walker will all be in the prime time GOP debate. In the other debate, Carly Fiorina, Lindsey Graham, Bobby Jindal, George Pataki, Rick Perry, and Rick Santorum will all be participating. Of course the candidates who participate in each debate can change because CNN will be using the average of polls from July 16 - September 10. From now until September 10, some candidates may rise up and some may fall and loose their position in the prime time debate. One example of this is many believe Carly Fiorina will make it into the prime time debate because of her strong performance in the Fox News debate and recent polling shows her gaining ground.

This is a survey of 651 likely Republican primary voters. The survey was conducted on August 9, 2015 - August 10, 2015. The margin of error of is +/- 4%.
Rick Perry's Presidential campaign announced that they will no longer pay their staffers in their headquarters in Austin, Texas, as well as pay their staffers in the early primary states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. This is due to the lack of money the campaign has on hand as well as its fundraising has been very weak. Rick Perry's campaign needs to save the money in order to be able to afford the traveling costs to campaign around the country.
The super PAC supporting Rick Perry's second bid for the Presidency is doing well with fundraising and the amount of cash on hand, but super PAC's are legally not allowed to coordinate with a Presidential campaign. The super PAC did announce that they would take over some efforts with the campaign such as setting up a ground campaign. You can read more about this at the Washington Post. Rick Perry posted the following on Twitter:
Some are saying Rick Perry's Presidential campaign may be coming to an end soon. Once you start loosing your staffers and the money is not coming to the campaign its very hard to continue your campaign for President. A super PAC can only do so much to help a campaign stay afloat.
