Poll Details
2,200 South Carolina adults were interviewed by SurveyUSA 12/07/07 through 12/09/07. Of them, 1,877 were registered to vote. Of them, 470 were identified by SurveyUSA as being likely to vote in the 01/26/08 South Carolina Democratic Primary. After the 12/07 and 12/08 interviews, but before the 12/09 interviews, Oprah Winfrey appeared in South Carolina with Barack Obama. Caveat: Measuring African American turnout in South Carolina is a challenge in any election, but uniquely so in a Primary where an African American is a candidate for President. It is unknowable at this hour how many infrequent black voters, if any, Obama may turnout in a Primary, and, separately, how many infrequent young voters an Obama candidacy may attract in a Primary. In SurveyUSA's 11/12/07 release, blacks made-up 49% of the Democratic Primary electorate. In today's 12/11/07 release, blacks make-up 54% of the Primary electorate. These survey results should be evaluated with these caveats in mind.
