Quinnipiac poll of SC has Biden leading in every demographic group EXCEPT 18-34 year olds

With the youngest of the four groups of voters defined by age, Sanders leads with 31%, followed by Warren at 19% and Biden at 15%.

Biden leads in every other demographic group...

Whoops, except those who define themselves as VERY liberal, and there he's tied with Warren at 28%.

But he's well ahead with somewhat liberal and moderate and conservative Dems; with men (32%, followed by Sanders at 15%); with women (33%, followed by Warren at 16%); with whites (22% to 17% for Warren and 11% each for Sanders and Buttigieg) and blacks (44% to 10% for Sanders and 8% for Warren); with both voters with a college degree and those without; with voters over the age of 34; and with voters of all income levels (he's 20 points ahead of Sanders with voters with incomes under 50K, 18 points ahead of Sanders with voters with incomes between 50 and 100K, and ahead with voters with incomes over 100K, though with that group Warren's a close second, 26% to Biden's 28%). He leads among city, suburban and rural voters.

So. Only the very youngest voters prefer two other candidates. And I don't think it's a coincidence that those two are the ones promising student loan forgiveness.

I have never thought so. I believe in giving relief where needed, but 95 percent to 100 percent emmaverybo Nov 2019 #2

total amnesty for all will cost us ultimately in other areas of need. Many who would benefit by such
a generous program make good money due to their good educations and have future prospects for continued high earnings.

Here again, a too lavish hand will end up burdening tax payers making far less, and possibly more indebted, than many of those who will benefit.

The “needy” demographic chosen for this beneficence was not by coincidence at all,
