South Carolina Democratic voters strongly support Joe Biden to be the Democratic nominee to become the 46th president, according to the latest Winthrop Poll.
Thirty-seven percent of those surveyed said they were leaning toward voting for the former vice president. Of the African Americans Democratic and Democratic eaning voters contacted, he had even higher numbers, at 46%.
Other candidates planning to run in the S.C. primary with support were U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, 17%, followed by U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, 8%, and U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris, 7%. The remaining 15 candidates fell under 5%.
South Carolina is important in the presidential process because it is the first primary in the South and because it is the first time presidential candidates can be vetted by large numbers of African-American voters.
Winthrop Poll Director Scott Huffmon noted that "African Americans constitute one of the most important constituencies for the Democratic Party. African Americans can make up more than 60% of the Democratic Presidential Primary vote in South Carolina, which is a much larger portion than in the Iowa Caucus or New Hampshire primary."

Among African Americans:
Biden 46%, Harris 10%, Warren 9%, Sanders 8%
These results represent the responses of 462 Democratic and Democratic Leaning Registered Voters and 406 Republican and Republican Leaning Registered Voters. Results that use all Democratic and Democratic Leaning respondents have a margin of error of +/- 4.6% at the 95% confidence level. Calls were made between 9/21-9/30, 2019
