9. 0% is a bit of an exaggeration

Dec 2019

Quinnipiac has him at 4% nationally.

Other polls seem to be in the same ballpark.

Ipsos/538 has the percentage that would consider voting for him at 16%.

He can't win with those numbers, of course, so the underlying claim is valid, but the claims that he has zero support and that no black people would consider voting for him are a bit of hyperbole.

The 0% claim might have come from a Q poll in which Buttigieg had less than 1% black support in South Carolina. Not good.

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