That is exceptional for his size, weight, and age.

(16,616 posts)2. Some findings from the exit polls (from the OP link)
Preliminary exit polls of South Carolina Democratic voters Saturday also found:
Tepid support for single-payer health care South Carolina Democrats appear less supportive of adopting a single-payer health-care system than voters in states that cast ballots earlier this year. Preliminary exit poll results show about half of South Carolina Democratic voters support replacing all private health insurance with a single government plan for everyone. By contrast, between 57 and 62 percent of caucus and primary voters in Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada supported a single-payer health-care system, and supporters of single-payer health care have supported Sanders by wide margins.
Biden supporters more committed to backing partys nominee About 8 in 10 South Carolina Democratic primary voters said they would vote for whoever the Democratic nominee is in the fall general election, according to preliminary exit polls. A larger majority of Biden supporters said they were committed to supporting the partys nominee than Sanders voters. South Carolina does not have registration by party, and there is no Republican primary this year, so people who might lean Republican could vote. In 2016, 82 percent of the South Carolina Democratic primary voters identified themselves as Democrats. This time that has dipped to about 7 in 10 voters, while roughly one-quarter identified as independent and few identified as Republicans.

I think that the short form of this is that South Carolina has more moderate and even somewhat conservative voters than the previous three contests. This is going to work against Sanders and for Biden. It is just a question of by how much. I think that tonight is going to be a good night for Joe Biden.

Is 15 points too much to hope for?
