doing extremely well and african-american voters is the most critical of the demographics. african-american wins are the ones that deliver wins for democrats. neil: and they turn out. they turn out when they re excited and joe biden is someone who listened to jim cliburn and a lot of endorsements from from south carolina, for instance. they know joe. we ve been around with him for ages and think back to the summit where bernie sanders said i marched with mlk and got booed by minority voters. his argument he d been there for the black community is not resonating for them. union workers say i know joe. black voters saying i know joe. women as well and shaving off some of the millennial and gen x sport that bernie sanders was hanging onto and now bernie is in the low teens and he was a lot higher before biden got in. neil: a new fox poll, they re
