Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) has proven to be an adept presidential campaigner, harnessing a wave of grassroots support to seriously challenge long-presumed front-runner Hillary Clinton in several key states.
But Sanders still faces an enormous electoral problem: He cannot seem to find support among minority voters, whose votes are necessary to win a Democratic nomination.
Two new polls released on Tuesday found Sanders in poor standing in South Carolina, the crucial third-nominating state where, in 2012, the majority of Democratic primary voters were black.
According to Public Policy Polling, Clinton led the state, with 72% of likely Democratic voters saying they would support her. That compared to just 18% who backed Sanders. And among black voters, Clinton garnered 86% support to Sanders' 11%.
Similarly, a Monmouth University poll of Democrats in the Palmetto State found Clinton's overall lead at 69% among likely Democratic primary voters, compared to Sanders' 18% support.
Sanders represents a state where individuals who identify as non-white make up only just more than 6% of the population, according to the US Census Bureau. ....................
