CBS News poll: In South Carolina, Biden's lead narrows, with Sanders and Steyer on his heels

The contest in South Carolina looks very different heading into its final week than it did last fall. Joe Biden (28%) has only a single-digit lead with Bernie Sanders (23%) now right behind him. The race has narrowed considerably since the fall, when Biden led the field by a whopping 28 points. Support for the former vice president has fallen by double-digits as Sanders and businessman Tom Steyer have made gains. Steyer is at 18%.

This poll was finished before Sanders coasted to a win in the Nevada caucuses Saturday night — though most South Carolina voters told us the Nevada results would not impact them.

Although Biden continues to lead among African-Americans — who make up a majority of the state's Democratic electorate — his support with black voters has declined 19 points since the fall.

Biden has lost ground with white voters, too. He led with whites in November, but Sanders does now.

Does a political party have a say if non-Democrats can vote in Democratic primaries?

Steyer has spent about $10 million on ads in S.C. markets, according to ad tracking firm Advertising Analytics — outspending his challengers Biden, South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Warren and Sanders who are top four in the polls.

Three weeks ago, Steyer spent $500,000 on an ad buy on black radio, said his S.C. campaign spokeswoman Tiffany Vaughn Jones, adding another significant buy is coming soon in print.
