1. Hmm

A little bit of an outlier for SC. Harris support collapsing in it.

3. Harris has been polling at 7% or less in SC since mid-August, according to the state polls listed

at 538:

10. I don't.

I don't mean this is an outlier for Harris. I mean it's an outlier for Biden being a little lower than average.

Just commenting on Harris's support being cut in half since the last Mon poll there.

6. This is interesting

7. This is good news and to Biden's credit 'cause if the trend persists, it will help him in the

primary. If he wins the nomination, he will, indeed, beat trump.

9. Biden is still doing well with African American voters

From the OP

Biden is the top pick among black Democratic primary voters in South Carolina at 39%, with Warren (11%), Sanders (11%), Harris (8%) and the rest of the field trailing him by a wide margin. However, a significant number of black voters (19%) remain completely undecided on their preference and there are some sizable differences by age and education.

Among white Democratic voters, who make up about two-fifths of the likely electorate, it is a tight contest between Biden (28%) and Warren (24%), with Sanders (13%) and Buttigieg (8%) following behind. Just 6% of white voters say they do not have any candidate in mind as their pick.

12. BS is being rejected by SC's AA and POC voters...

BS is being rejected by SC's AA and POC voters... and it seems increasingly unlikely that BS will be able to carry any Southern state. He's well on his way to NOT being our party's nominee. It's clear to me that SC doesn't really care that "Bernie is Back" (assuming they even noticed in the first place.)

Considering his "name recognition" (after all, this ain't his first time at the rodeo) one could easily presume that he'd have an easier go of it. But then again, perhaps in a way, it's the "name recognition" helps to explain why he's only 6 points above Harris' numbers in SC. Would he otherwise be lower? We can only guess. Is it his "name recognition" that's holding him back? That seems to be a likely possibility.

In any case, all I'm saying is that these are devastating numbers that do not look good for BS, and I'm sure it's causing the BS campaign a lot of anxiety. It certainly does help to explain why they've been behaving like they have recently.
