Former Vice President Joe Biden is only 5 points ahead of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in the latest poll of voters in South Carolina, the state where Biden had built a “firewall” of support among African-Americans.
The Charleston Post and Courier reported Sunday: “Biden, who once led by as much as 31 percentage points in South Carolina, holds a 5-point edge over Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.” The margin of error is 4 points.
The new poll result raises the possibility that Sanders could sweep all four of the early primary states that vote in February. He leads in the latest polls in Iowa and New Hampshire; he is statistically tied with Biden in the most recent poll in Nevada; and now he is clinging to a slim lead over Sanders in South Carolina.
It is not clear why Biden is fading, but Sanders has surged over the past several weeks, especially after the entire field of candidates failed to impress during the last Democratic debate before the Iowa caucuses.
The impeachment trial of President Donald Trump has kept Sanders, and other Senators running for the nomination, in Washington. However, it has also highlighted alleged conflicts of interest for Biden.
The Post and Courier poll also reported that billionaire left-wing donor Tom Steyer is now in third place in South Carolina, at 18 percent. CNN reported last month that Steyer had bought over 90% of the television advertising time in both South Carolina and Nevada, flooding the airwaves and possibly hurting Biden.

Don’t know if this will make any sense or not, but I think the reason blacks don’t like Jews is because Jews tend to be more cracker-ish than us regular crackers.
lol
If you mean by their very little violence in their communities, Norman Rockwell painting neighborhoods and their usually appearing very well dressed and being very articulate..then you are right.
Black don’t like us Italians either but they know enough not to bother us :)
I’d walk through the big Jewish area on Staten Island at 4am holding wads of 100s and not be worried.
I love my fellow paesani but I CANNOT say the same for one of our neighborhoods :)
Starting to look like the request to have Biden investigated was a favor to Bernie Sanders. Trump might never get the chance to run against Sleepy Joe.
I want the easiest to beat. I know I’ve seen some say we can beat them all. I want the easiest. I think that’s Bernie. Biden is an idiot but he has that weird “awe shucks” personality which democrats seem to like.
If the Dims screw Bernie out of the nomination(again) would be consider running third party? Tear the D party apart and rebuild it further to the left. I think he may be that rabid a lefty.
Good.
Remember how Muammar Gaddafi wound up naked, beaten to death, with a knife up his bum, on display in a deli case? Or Mussolini, strung up in a gas station, with little old ladies peeing on his face?
I'm sure that we can come up with something for Bernie...
Little know fact: Jews were the first several presidents of the NAACP.
What is Bernie’s position on H-1B visas, which steal jobs from American workers?
It will be fun to see what the DNC and the Super Delegates do at the Convention to make sure he does not get the Democratic Party nomination.
If they do what they most likely will do, they will destroy the Democratic Party. In fact, I would expect that they will cause a new permanent 3rd party to be formed that will be active at local, state and federal levels. It will likely be the end of the two party system as we know it.
Looking forward to the election of Trump in November.
Don’t worry about it. Democrats know how to cheat.
If biden loses in his firewall of south carolina he loses the nomination. Does anyone know if republicans in sc can vote in the dem primary? If so, they need to go and vote for bernie.
Just confirmed. Open primary. Republicans can vote. Need a bernie operation chaos.
