Joe Biden may have just received the worst news of his campaign, as a new poll shows his support in his firewall state of South Carolina collapsing along with his once dominant support among black voters, with Sen. Berine Sanders and Tom Steyer closing the gap.

Biden's support in South Carolina had held steady all campaign season, and the hope was that it was strong enough to allow him to survive early defeats in Iowa and New Hampshire, and pull off a big win ahead of Super Tuesday, when the largest single-day haul of delegates is available. If the new Post and Courier-Change Research poll is right and his lead is evaporating, then it puts much more pressure on him to with either Iowa or New Hampshire.

While the poll shows Biden still in the lead, he's at just 25%, with Sanders at 20%, and Steyer (who has carpet bombed the state with TV ads) at 18%. Biden once led in the poll by as high as 31 points.

Especially alarming for Biden is that he's down to 30% support among black voters, who make up two-thirds of the South Carolina electorate and are a crucial voting bloc in the later states. Last summer, Biden captured half of black voters. Steyer is now at 24% among blacks, with Sanders at 16%.

Maybe they don't care for his Corn Pop stories.

You can bet he'll announce Abrams or Harris as a VP on the next week or so to stop the bleeding.

...and since you follow Sundance, you already know this is part of the set up.

Polls for the Leftists are most of the time used to guide public opinion, not measure it. There is no way this is the real data. But it doesn't matter.

And now that the Dems have no use of crazy Joe, he will thrown by the wayside.

I wouldn't write Biden off in South Carolina yet. This is one poll conducted by a company 538 grades as being mediocre with results that appear highly questionable. I could buy Bernie gaining ground but Steyer polling that high? Meh

Seems hard to believe. What could possibly be the allure? GEOTUS is an original G and black support for him wasn’t even that high

If I never have to see Tom Steyer’s face on my television again that would be great. I swear I can’t watch 15 minutes of tv without that sombitch’a ads coming on.

Not surprising. Old Joe isn't promising enough free stuff to them. C'mon Joe, get onboard with the 'vote for me, everything will be free' narrative the others are pushing.

I don't keep up with it, could look it up but I suspect someone knows the answer. At what point does a candidate realize it's time to throw in the towel? Is it after Iowa, SC or New Hampshire or do they press on until they get to the part of the country that they might do well; like Super Tuesday?

All Joe has to do is cozy up to Jim Clyburn and he would have the black vote in sc. The man comes home once a year for his fish fry but has the black church pastors in his picket.
