131. He has one hundred percent name recognition

May 2019
Among African-American respondents — who are expected to make up the majority of voters in next year’s primary — 52% named Biden as their top choice, compared to 11 percent for Harris and 5 percent for Booker.



And he's polling at less than 5% among this critical group.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

These results surely have to come as a disappointment to him, yes? DemocratSinceBirth May 2019 #7
I would say devastating. honest.abe May 2019 #11
Bernie and his surrogates dismissed the South's importance in 2016 to their great dismay for 2020. charlyvi May 2019 #65

Hasn't Booker spent a lot of time in SC? Funtatlaguy May 2019 #9
Why? Because of his race? honest.abe May 2019 #15

Since when was SC considered a bellwether state? Ford_Prefect May 2019 #28
It's the first truly heterogeneous primary. DemocratSinceBirth May 2019 #29
A technical distinction to be sure. SC has a very different cultural climate from much of the US. Ford_Prefect May 2019 #34
Unlike heterogeneous and urban New Hampshire and Iowa? DemocratSinceBirth May 2019 #37
You beat me to that. Unbelievably Iowa has been considered a very important state... George II May 2019 #47
Alot more "bellwether" than Iowa or NH. honest.abe May 2019 #31
