Civitas released a new poll yesterday that shows Joe Biden firmly in the lead in the Democratic primary in North Carolina. It also looks at the level of interest in the primary and asks about a battery of questions about issues facing North Carolina voters. Questions about the primary surveys likely Democratic voters but the general issues sections tests registered voters in the state. The poll was done online with no calls. I don’t remember another recent public poll by a reputable pollster using this method but I believe it’s where polling is heading.

According the poll conducted by Survey USA, Biden leads with 36% and Sanders and Warren are next with 15% and 13% respectively. Harris is at 8% and Buttigieg is at 5% with everybody else at 1% or less. In addition, 51% of respondents say Biden is the candidate most likely to defeat Trump.

Biden’s support is fueled by African-American and older voters. Fifty-seven percent of black voters support Biden and 45% of voters over 50 years old choose him. Sanders’ support is concentrated among younger voters. He leads Biden by a point, 26-25, among voters under 50 but he only garners 6% among voters over 50. Warren picks up 14% of voters over 50 and leads Sanders 15-12 among women ...

5. As a North Carolinian myself, no one should be surprised by this. Joe Biden will carry the South.
