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.

It might come down to Steyer vs. Bloomberg.
The Battle of the Billionaires... in the Party of Anti-Capitalism!
LOL!!!!!!
Get ready rumble. The demonrats are about to howel. They created this monster and it is about to devour them
Panic time at the DNC.
To be quite frank, and of course this is not a blanket statement, blacks don’t have a high opinion of Jewish folks.
The ones that I’ve met through work and even the ones i know on welfare don’t like them.
Amazing, since they probably have very limited contact with Jewish folks.
And Jewish folks have been one of their biggest advocates forever.
I remember many years ago, a bunch of Jewish folks tried to join WITH blacks in a protest (about God knows what) and the blacks beat them up.
Panic in the DNC!
Go Bernie.
Schism the left. When they deny you the nomination, walk away.
The combination of Bernie and Trump proves one thing... the American people are fed up to the gills with the DC ruling oligarchy and want a change.
I can’t see this guy winning. He’s almost as annoying as Hillary & Liz.
With the caucus rules, I don’t think Bernie will be allowed to win. After the first round of votes, the below 15% candidates will vote with someone besides Bernie.
And when he has them all nice and clean, they'll hold the primaries.
“To be quite frank, and of course this is not a blanket statement, blacks don’t have a high opinion of Jewish folks.”
They don’t have a good opinion of white Jewish folks. Jesse Jackson did OK.
Bernie is polling around 16% with blacks this time. Some now know he doesn’t support Israel.
So he has 16 out of 100 percent of their vote.
Or 16 percent approval?
Thanks
