Joe Biden’s challenge: Sustaining support from black voters

… An average of our CNN polling in late April and late May shows Biden lapping the field among black voters with about 50%. Harris, Sanders and Warren were all between 5% and 10%. Biden’s 40 point lead among black voters was more than double his about 15 point lead among white voters.

Biden’s lead with black voters is seen in state polling too. His edges in heavily white Iowa and New Hampshire are only in the high single digits and low double digits. Biden’s up by closer to 25 points in South Carolina, which will likely have a majority black Democratic primary electorate.

The question, of course, is whether Biden can hold onto his base of African-American support. CONT.
