New poll shows Joe Biden with 20-point lead in South Carolina primary
GREENVILLE, S.C. – Results of a poll released Thursday morning show former Vice President Joe Biden holds a commanding lead in the South Carolina Democratic presidential primary, with U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders and businessman Tom Steyer in a close battle for second.
Results of a Clemson University Palmetto Poll released Wednesday showed Biden leading with 35%, Steyer in second at 17% and Sanders third with 13%. "Biden appears to be holding on to his core support among African Americans in South Carolina," said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute, in a statement accompanying the survey's results."The recent endorsement by Rep. James Clyburn should help solidify that."
The Monmouth poll showed 45% of black voters in South Carolina back Biden, with 17% percent supporting Steyer and 13% for Sanders.Biden needs a win in South Carolina to revive his campaign after disappointing showings earlier this month in the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary and a second-place finish in the Nevada caucuses last Saturday.
