Biden at 10% In SC Poll!

[gateley]

From NBC's Mark Murray
The polls are coming out fast and furious this Friday afternoon... A new Insider Advantage poll of South Carolina (conducted Dec. 3-4 of 421 likely Dem voters) has Obama at 26%, Clinton at 24%, Edwards at 15%, and Biden at 10%.


I'm gasping -- double digits! :bounce:

1. Wow, what good news!!

the media must be going BS!!!

[1corona4u]

2. OMG....

AWESOME!!!

[Steely_Dan]

3. Double Digits!!!

Outstanding. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come.

-P

[Think82]

4. Biden said he would win SC if he makes it out of Iowa.

He seemed fairly certain of it...

[Adelante]

5. Happy for you, Gately

I don't want you to get hurt, though. I was reading on MyDD that most of the sample was largely of whites and SC is about half black in population. Let's see if this is confirmed. We should find the polling data.

[Think82]

7. Biden has endrements from several black leaders down there.

[Adelante]

13. Yeah, I know, I didn't mean anything other than what I'm saying

I'm saying there might be something wrong with the numbers being given out. It wouldn't make sense for a state with that many AAs to poll a relative few out of the overall population. We'll see. I just wanted to alert you to what I saw. I'm trying to find the data, but it doesn't seem to be available yet.

I'm hoping for the best :hi:

[1corona4u]

15. Yeah, Gerald Malloy has been supporting Joe for a long time....

Here's some SC stuff;

Here's Gerald Malloy's video;

12. Actually....

SC is 68% white, and 29% black. But thanks for the concern though.

[Adelante]

16. 49% of voting population is black nt

[1corona4u]

18. Oh well,

I guess we'll just have to wait and see when primary day rolls around. I'm ok with that. I never trust polls anyway. There's a new poll every 32 seconds, LOL...

PS; I think you probably just left out the word "voter", so that would explain why I thought you said the polulation, as in general population, not voting population.


Your comment;


"was largely of whites and SC is about half black in population."

[Progress And Change]

36. false. about a quarter is. however, half of SC Dems are black

[gateley]

17. Thanks! I heard where Biden took over 90% of the black vote in Delaware,

so that makes me hopeful.

[Adelante]

21. Please don't misunderstand my intent

I'm not talking about anything but numbers on the poll, not who gets the votes.

Here, look. This is supposed to be the breakout of the sample. It doesn't look right to me for SC; the AA figure is too low to be representative of the voting population.

337 Caucasians
67 African Americans
3 Hispanics
23 Other

I've asked in that thread where that came from, but haven't received an answer. Eh, maybe I'm making something out of nothing. I'm sorry.

Hope is good :hi:

[gateley]

26. Of course not! I KNOW you - I understand you weren't being negative!

:hi:

[jillan]

30. No harm done with me - I know what you meant!

:hi:

[Adelante]

34. Thanks, pirhana

You never know around here, do you? :D

[jillan]

43. Must be getting closer to the Iowa caucuses or something!

I had a someone who supports a different candidate go after me about Biden the other day - whoa!
And this was from someone I have 'chatted' with many times before.


Guess we all need to wear our thick skin these days :P

[rucky]

6. He's on the map! n/t

[calteacherguy]

8. It's a great feeling when your candidate hits double digits.

Kind of milestone.

Congratulations!

[Steely_Dan]

14. Biden/Obama '08 n/t

[calteacherguy]

19. That would be a good ticket.

Of course, I'd prefer it the other way around...

[Steely_Dan]

25. LOLOLOLOL

I sort of figured on that....

-Paige

[PatSeg]

29. That's okay

People with dyslexia can lead perfectly normal and productive lives! :hi: :hi:

[PatSeg]

32. Yeah and it is the only way to get the media to pay any attention

or a major scandal.

[bdamomma]

9. just a question how does the Black community feel about him

and the hispanics. just wondering.

[jillan]

33. I don't know. That will be interesting to find out.

Biden has done amazing work on civil rights, has a 100% rating from the NAACP - but -

people have called him a racist so many times, it has unfortunately stuck :(

[demommom]

49. I do not think it has stuck with most people.

[LWolf]

10. Good to see him moving up. n/t

[TheUniverse]

11. He is picking up Joementum!

;-)

[jillan]

35. No cussing allowed!

[ginchinchili]

20. I hope double digits means our good Senator gets some media attention.

Great news, gateley. Thanks for sharing.

[K Gardner]

22. Really a joy to see double digits by his name, LOL. I'll take that.. :-) n/t

[Tashca]

23. timing

He is building momentum......and heading to a peak at the right time. Slow and steady......I am very happy about this!!!!

[gateley]

24. Thanks, Bellator --

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[Adelante]

27. Gately, FYI

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/docs/InsiderAdvantage_Majority_Opinion_SC_DEM_Dec_Poll.html

[PatSeg]

28. Whoa, that's interesting

Biden captured the young voters? 40%! Hillary got 20%, Edwards, Kucinich, & Richardson all 6.7%, and Obama 13.3%.

I'm really surprised.

[Adelante]

31. I saw that youth vote - very impressive nt

[PatSeg]

37. I figured most of the youth vote would go to Obama

[Adelante]

40. I can see why young people could go for Joe

Obama, too. Different strokes, that's all.

[1corona4u]

39. That is interesting....

Hey, Joe's a cool guy, LOL....I think the younger can appreciate him too. Probably his verbiage, LOL...

[jillan]

38. I'm surprised that

Edwards has less of the black vote than Biden!
Did not see that one coming at all....

[PatSeg]

41. Me either

Very interesting breakdown.

[1corona4u]

42. I was surprised to see that Obama only had half of the black vote...

but I think that will go up after the double "O" show.

[PatSeg]

44. Actually Oprah appeals more to the middle-aged white

female demographic, so not so sure how it will affect black voters.

[1corona4u]

48. We need to get those older women on board, LOL...

what's wrong with them!?! LOL

[PatSeg]

51. They watch too much Oprah and Dr. Phil

which can be mind-numbing.

[1corona4u]

52. Yeah , LOL...

they're probably like; "Joe who?" I don't get it....for many years now, when I hear him on TV, I run to the TV to see him and see what he is saying...unlike some other politicians, who I just turn off...

[PatSeg]

53. Me too

For years he has been the only politician I would go out of my way to listen to. The rest are just background noise.

[gateley]

45. That's REALLY interesting! Not only the young vote, but a higher percentage

of blacks than whites would vote for him. That makes me feel good --

Thanks for this!!

[Lord Helmet]

46. it's not enough

sorry

[gateley]

47. Hi Lord Helmet

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[Jennifer C]

50. Wow, very nice indeed

I'm so happy, this is wonderful news :D

Double digits -- Go Joe!!!
