1. I definitely think that GOP chaos voters are affecting the composition of the electorate.

The African American vote should be more like 60 percent. The white vote should be more like 35 percent.

I strongly suspect that the difference was made by GOP voters entering the primary to vote for Sanders.

17. So the excuse for a Bernie failure in SC

Will be the Chaos Voters did it? Pretty sad really...

3. 49% moderate or conservative???

And we think South Carolina is representative of the Democratic Party???

hmmmmm

[AGeddy]

5. Nearlyu 50% of Democrats are moderate

That *IS* representative of the Democratic party.



Only 25% of Democrats consider themselves to be "very liberal". Not just in SC, but nationwide.

8. I disagree

[AGeddy]

10. It's not an "opinion" to be agreed or disagreed with. The numbers are the numbers.

very conservative: 3%
conservative: 11%
moderate: 38%
liberal: 32%
very liberal: 15%

52% are moderate or conservative

[AmericanGraffiti]

14. Sure it is

But hey, tonight is the one night conservative establishment Democrats can have a good night.

Enjoy!

[emmaverybo]

12. Thank you.

[Squinch]

6. I take that to mean 40% moderate Democrats, 9% republicans.

So I'm seeing a 30% to 40% result in these numbers.

[AmericanGraffiti]

9. Nah

There are still some of them older southern white Democrats in South Carolina who call themselves conservative. It is actually a codeword for something else, but I guess we can't talk about that tonight.

Senator Harris did though in one debate against Biden. Kudos to her.

[Squinch]

11. Are you saying it's a codeword for racist? If you are saying something, why not just say it?

[AmericanGraffiti]

15. Go back and investigate

those conservative southern Democrats who voted against the Civil Rights Bill. Tells one all one needs to know!

When South Carolina stops being the representative of establishment Democratic Party politics, it will be a great day for our party.

[Squinch]

16. Oh, dear. So the South Carolinians who voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964 are

representative of current "establishment Democratic Party politics"?

Because the current "establishment Democratic Party" members are just like those racists from the 60s?

Do I have that right?

[AmericanGraffiti]

18. South Carolina is the establishment firewall.

Draw your own conclusions.

[Squinch]

19. Sigh. SMH.

[underpants]

7. The 9% Conservative may be low

People answer exit polls in a way to make themselves feel better

[Squinch]

13. This.

[TTUBatfan2008]

20. Will be a strong day for him...

...and it will be interesting to see what happens on Super Tuesday. That's the first time Bloomberg is on the ballot and I'm curious to see what kind of support he actually has.

[frazzled]

21. Where is that youth vote that's clamoring to turn out?

17-29: 10% (-5 since 2016)
30-44: 18% (-2)
45-64: 43% (-4)
65 & older: 29% (+10)

So, under age 44 groups together = 28%
45 and up age groups = 72%

[Just_Vote_Dem]

22. Only 28% under age 45

Interesting
