Former Vice President Joe Biden's lead shrank in his firewall state of South Carolina, though he still holds an 8-point edge, according to an East Carolina University (ECU) poll released Friday.
Biden gets the support of 28 percent of likely South Carolina primary voters, followed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) with 20 percent and businessman Tom Steyer with 14 percent. No other candidate breaks double digits in the poll ahead of the Feb. 29 primary in the Palmetto State.
The poll comes as Biden leans on South Carolina to reverse his fortunes after fourth- and fifth-place showings in Iowa and New Hampshire, respectively, but his allies have started to fear the poor results could follow him there, too.
Biden's support dropped 9 points since the last ECU poll, which was conducted right before Iowa's caucuses. Meanwhile, Sanders, who garnered the most votes in each of the first two states, has surged in South Carolina from 14 percent earlier this month, surpassing Steyer for second place.

From now on if any Trump voters see mini Mike, they need to start shouting
Mini Mike! Stand up Mini Mike!!

As Joe Biden would say, Yeah, stand up Mike, and pull out your wallet...oh, he is standing up
You forgot to include his bowl of Jello - with whipped cream if he is a good boy that day.
If he loses, hell pack it in and go home.
Bloomberg hasn’t even run in the primaries. Apparently, he expected to be crowned like a king.
There are quite a few NPR communist down south?
“...Gropin’ Joe gets to retire early. Good for him....”
Yep. Now IF we just had an AG with balls enough to indict him...oh well, we can only dream, pray and hope...not necessarily in that order.
Black people like to back 'the winner' because then they can say, "You owe us because without our vote you wouldn't have won'... The polls - phony as they are - work to manipulate the black community.
A month ago white liberal elite democrats were telling the black community that Biden was going to win - and the black community went 'OK we'll vote for Biden'... now elites are telling them Bloomberg... Tomorrow it could be Hillary. It' just a ruse.
Joe can’t quit now.
He needs to win one primary in his life—before he dies!
This is starting to go to bernie’s head and he’s going to think that he actually can do the job of president. Oh please, pretty please, nominate him!
“Rope A Dope’’.
Sanders is going to run away with it.
I think Biden fell victim of a meme barrage. Hes said so many stupid things.
