The strong non-white support for Biden, the disparity in ethnic support for Mayor Pete, and the tepid non-white support for Kamala Harris. I haven't seen the original poll (link?). Not buying at this time.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

That is higher than I would have expected but does mirror the strong support for Biden in my circle of Black women colleagues, friends and family. I assumed we were atypical and that younger women (>50) would be supporting one of the women or younger candidates.

primary today, I would vote for:

Biden is seen as a long time ally of Hillary and Barack.
