They talk to 12 South Carolina voters, 11 of whom are undecided before the debate. 4 of them become decided--all for Biden.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

I generally am appalled at many of these focus groups, and this was a very pleasant and welcome surprise.

primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

CNN had another focus group with 12 undecideds, and four chose Biden. Does that mean Warren and the others should be worried?

It's just another data point on a very long line. The need to apply massive significance to the minutiae of the campaign is a bit misguided, yet all too common.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
