Elizabeth Warren is reportedly surging with Black voters. However, that wasn’t reflected when she visited Clinton College in Rock Hill, South Carolina, which is an HBCU.

Washington Post reporter Annie Linskey posted the following video on social media, “Sen Warren’s crowd at Clinton College, a HBCU in South Carolina.” See below:

No Black folks could be spotted. One user wrote, “I’m a Warren supporter, and this is a bad look. Yes, there’s a crowd, but it’s a sea of white people at an HBCU.”

Another wrote, “I shouldn’t feel like I am doing a Where’s Waldo picture to find POC at a rally held on the campus of an HBCU.”

There is a stark contrast to a recent poll by Quinnipiac University just last week. When it comes to Black voters, Biden still remains in the lead but Warren has surged. In July, Warren only had 4 percent of the Black vote, while in August she had 8 percent. Now, in September she has 19% of the Black vote, which is nearly half of Biden’s 40 percent Black vote support. Clearly, with each month, Warren is doubling in digits.

 

Unfortunately, the poll doesn’t break down the demographics of Black voters, although reports indicate that older Black voters favor Biden while younger Black voters are spending time trying to convince their elders to give up Biden.

Other candidates polled by Quinnipiac like Kamala Harris, Beto O’Rourke and Pete Buttigieg averaged the single digits for support, while Bernie Sanders averaged the double digits but still generally lower than Warren and Biden. The Quinnipiac survey seems to align with other public polling showing Warren and Biden separating themselves from the other Democratic nominees.

“After trailing Biden by double digits since March in the race for the Democratic nomination, Warren catches Biden,” Quinnipiac University polling analyst Tim Malloy said, according to POLITICO. “We now have a race with two candidates at the top of the field, and they’re leaving the rest of the pack behind.”

The Quinnipiac University national poll was conducted from September 19 to the 23rd, and 561 Democratic voters and independent voters who leaned Democratic were surveyed. The margin of sampling error is minus or plus 4.9 percentage points.
