Of the a summary of all most recent polls with former Vice President joe biden at 32 , senator Bernie Sanders at 15 , followed by senator Elizabeth Warren, tom steyer at 8 , and Pete Buttigieg at 6 . These numbers have been consistent over the last few months. Why . Former Vice President has had a very durable base of support in South Carolina. He is by far the best known of the candidates. He is viewed favorably by black voters of South Carolina who of the the majority democratic electorate in South Carolina, 61 in 2016.
