Skya Rhen has already posted a thread about the top numbers from the poll

showing Biden with 36% and his two closest rivals, Warren and Sanders, nearly tied with less than half of Biden's support in the state.
I wanted to check the poll's internal numbers.

Despite attacks on Biden made in attempt to lower his support among black voters, he still leads with them 45% to 15% each for Sanders and Harris. (That page about the poll doesn't provide the exact percentage for the other candidates, just a graph, but judging by the graph, Warren's support among black voters in SC might be in single digits, with other candidates doing worse. Looks like Booker probably is getting only about 5% support there.)
Among white voters, Warren has a narrow lead over Biden, 26% to 24%. Sanders is third with 16%.
Again, the poll data available on that page doesn't give a percentage for Biden's support among the youngest group of voters, but it looks like it's about half the support Sanders has, so probably around 15%. I'm not surprised that Sanders and Warren are leading with that group, given their plans for free college and forgiving college debt.

(11,639 posts)...the fact that they are unlikely voters who vote overwhelmingly Democratic when they do turn out only serves to emphasize the importance of nominating an inspirational candidate.
