New NBCNews/Wall Street Journal poll suggests that Joe Biden fares best among all the Democrats with the number of African American voters who are 'comfortable with' or 'enthusiastic' about him — but the gap is not as wide as one might think.
Those two candidates do much better with black voters than the rest of the field, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren who has a net positive of 11 points and former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, with a net positive of 1 point.
It should be noted that all the Democratic potentials stand far above President Donald Trump with African-Americans. Only seven percent of those voters are comfortable with or enthusiastic about Trump, while 92 percent are uncomfortable with or have reservations about him. That's a net negative of 85 points. But Biden and Sanders look to be especially well-positioned for the South Carolina Democratic vote.
And there's one other bit of good news in these data for Sanders. With Democrats focused on bumping up their candidates’ margins and turnout among African-Americans in November, the Vermont senator seems to have some pull in a head-to-head against Trump. It's not clear what any of this will mean for South Carolina next week. The campaigning has been going on there for months now and other factors, such as endorsements and turnout machines, will likely play a big role in the results.
