Joe Biden wins South Carolina

Joe Biden tops the Democratic field in South Carolina with the highest favorability rating of any candidate tested Saturday, according to preliminary exit polls in the state.
The former vice president and projected South Carolina primary winner dominated, according to early polling, with around three quarters of voters saying they have a favorable opinion of him.
Businessman Tom Steyer, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren all hit slightly above half in their favorability numbers, with about 2 in 5 voters finding each unfavorable.
Former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg lands at around half favorable, with less than half unfavorable. Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar’s unfavorability barely outpaced her favorability in early polling.
Only a quarter of voters said they have a favorable opinion of former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg, while two thirds found him unfavorable.
Biden’s ratings are significantly higher among black voters, a group that carried his projected win in South Carolina, with almost 9 in 10 having a favorable opinion.
