1. Polling seems to indicate ...

A new Monmouth University survey of likely Democratic primary voters in the state shows Hillary Clinton's overwhelming support among black voters.

This marks the first Monmouth University Poll of voters in the Democratic contest in this state. Clinton is seen as the stronger candidate on issues of concern to African-Americans in a primary where the majority of voters will be black.

Clinton holds a 69% to 21% lead over Bernie Sanders among likely voters in South Carolina’s Democratic primary. Martin O’Malley’s support stands at 1%, with 8% not having a preference at this time. Sanders does best among voters who identify themselves as independents, but he still trails Clinton by 53% to 35% with this group. Clinton holds a large 74% to 16% lead among self-described Democrats likely to vote in South Carolina’s open primary.

Clinton is seen as the candidate who can better address the concerns of African-Americans.
