1. WOW that is huge..

[Demsrule86]

3. And this was during the Biden attack by Ms Flores.

[Peacetrain]

6. Oh my gosh.. there is such a bluing of Va., NC, and SC.. and GA!!

(Thank you Stacey Abrams) in 2018 we let our people find the place they needed to be to represent their district.. (where I live in IA, you need to understand farming, wind generators.. etc).. I am smiling from ear to ear here

[Demsrule86]

12. Agree. Stacy is great.

[True Blue American]

22. I honestly think the dumb attack on Joe actually helped him

Because most know the difference between a friendly hug, touching shoulders and sexual harrassment.

If they do not they sure need to learn,pronto!

[Demsrule86]

39. I think it did. Americans are fair minded and don't like this kind of attack.

[BlueFlorida]

2. South Carolina

will be the beginning of the end of many candidates. Super Tuesday will be the end of most except three or four.

I suspect one will remain till the end despite having zero chance of winning the nomination and whine about unfairness to rile up supporters. Hopefully most supporters will see through it this time around.

[Demsrule86]

4. The sooner the better. We need to get behind a candidate and win.

I guess we see why Biden was under attack.

[Demsrule86]

5. Maybe try to get supers to vote for him if there is second ballot...won't happen.

[True Blue American]

23. Wonder who

That would be?

[Demsrule86]

26. I know it is a mystery rght?

[True Blue American]

28. I am thinking here!

Very hard! May find the answer.

[Demsrule86]

40. I am sure it will come to you. Haha

[stonecutter357]

7. K&R

[Demsrule86]

13. Thanks

[vsrazdem]

8. I am surprised the numbers for Harris are not better, but maybe its name recognition.

[Demsrule86]

10. I think it about who can be elected and geography.

[Bradshaw3]

17. And she's behind Sanders

That is not good news for Harris. She would need to win South Carolina.

[Demsrule86]

19. I like her. And don't know why this is so.

[WeekiWater]

31. Almost at the margin of error for second.

And Sanders has complete name recognition. I would say she is polling really well here.

[Demsrule86]

33. Good point,

[themaguffin]

41. Likely lower because Abrams was on the poll

[Power 2 the People]

48. Me too! Only 10% for Harris in SC?? Never expected a total that low.

9. Joe Biden has major ties in South Carolina

Relationships and outreach he has nurtured over the years. I read about his popularity in the state several months ago and figured this was a very good sign if he decided to run. Because he'll blow the state out during the primary. No one comes close to these numbers.

[Demsrule86]

11. Didnt know that...thanks.

[peggysue2]

14. Didn't know it myself, Demsrule, until . . .

I stumbled across the article. But these poll numbers are pretty indicative of Joe's popularity and bodes well for his inevitable run.

[Demsrule86]

16. I agree and he can win a general...maybe Stacy will be VP.

[ucrdem]

15. That is awesome!

[Demsrule86]

18. I know so relieved.

[ucrdem]

20. The Lucy affair seems to have had an unintended consequence.

Teflon works that way sometimes!

[Demsrule86]

21. It was so ridiculous in my opinion. Use his strength...his humanity

And gentleness against him

[True Blue American]

24. :)

[Demsrule86]

25. Thanks tip of the hat back at you.

[samnsara]

27. yay for joe!!

[Demsrule86]

29. Yes! He is a good person.

[cwydro]

30. I live in NC, with friends in SC.

He’s hugely popular in both states.

[Demsrule86]

32. Thank you ...Good to know...not just name recognition

[Butterflylady]

35. Yes,

However, name recognition will be helpful with those voters that are not political junkies like us here at DU.

[Demsrule86]

37. That is very true and it helps he is associated with Obama in people's minds.

[Gothmog]

34. That is a major lead

[Demsrule86]

36. I think so. Since I believe he can win a general...pleased.

[Scurrilous]

38. K&R

[Demsrule86]

43. Thanks

[LakeArenal]

42. Whoop. There it is. ❣️❣️❣️❣️

[customerserviceguy]

44. I'm not surprised

given what I've heard around here. African-American voters make up a large proportion of the Democratic base here, and they see Joe as part of the successful Obama administration. They also don't seem to be concerned about the so-called "creepy" factor.

Harris may be making inroads with AA women, but men don't seem to favor her.

[Demsrule86]

45. I think men in general may not vote for a woman candidate.

[customerserviceguy]

49. Perhaps

Especially here.

[BeyondGeography]

46. See Clinton, Hillary, April 2007 SC polls

Meaningless.

[Demsrule86]

47. I meant as president.

[oasis]

50. The moment Joe announces, his numbers will explode through the roof.

[democratisphere]

51. More good news about Joe Biden.

Thanks!
