The apology came after Eurasia Group president Ian Bremmer flagged the omission in a tweet to his nearly 450,000 followers.
Why does @MSNBC keep leaving out @AndrewYang on their graphics (actually at 3% here)? This has happened on a number of occasions, I haven’t seen with any other candidate. It’s not just a slip up. Unacceptable," Bremmer wrote.

After facing some blowback on social media, MSNBC apologized and redid the graphic.
"Earlier on UP, we aired a poll graphic that inadvertently left off @AndrewYang. This was a mistake that we've since corrected on air. We apologize to Mr. Yang. Here's the correct graphic," the network wrote

"Thank you @MSNBC for making this apology for the 15th time. The #YangGang is very excited for #16," Yang campaign manager Zach Graumann wrote.
