5. 60% of the SC Dem Primary vote is AA

Wouldn't that place Mayor Pete at 9% in SC ? Only 10% of their sample were comprised of voters 18-29 .In 2016 they comprised 15% of the vote . Bernie is still way behind Biden , but he is probably around 16%- 17% in SC . Biden around 42%

up to 93) opt not to vote, no one changes, you are right. It is very good news for Biden.

For Sanders, 15 percent is likely included in his confidence interval. However, looking at other SC polls, it is more likely that this poll is on the high side as the others are lower. Warren was above 15 in many other polls, but it may be that this reflects the lower numbers seen nationally for her.

7. What a HUMILIATING number for Bernie! But I suppose I shouldn't be surprised...

What a HUMILIATING number for Bernie! But I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. After all... I'm sure that everyone remembers that one time when he had a rally in North Charleston, SC. BS can't even get AA and POC to attend a rally at an historically BLACK church in a MAJORITY BLACK neighborhood, within a MAJORITY BLACK city.

His rally (although well-attended) had so LITTLE ethnic diversity that it looked like he could have been somewhere Vermont. In fact, based on the statistics, the demographics at that rally was even whiter than Vermont.

It's obvious that the AA and POC community are rejecting BS and the BS campaign. They did then, and they still do NOW. He can't make headway. He hasn't been able to refine and tune his message.

BS just doesn't connect with that community. The BS message just isn't resonating. It appears that they don't trust or believe him. Interesting, no?

All I'm saying is, with such a humiliating rejection by the AA and POC communities, and without their vote, BS doesn't stand a chance.
