Pete Buttigieg is currently polling at 0 percent of the black vote In South Carolina, an important primary state where black voters make up 61 percent of the primary electorate.
A new poll by the Post & Courier found that while Buttigieg ranks second of all candidates in the state with white voters at 18 percent, he still has a long way to go to if he hopes to win.
“It’s like our relationship with America,” he said. “You have to be certain; you have to believe in this project enough to see where it’s going to come up short and care that you’re going to fix it. And I guess I need those kinds of checks. I needed people in my administration whose eyebrows would go up at a meeting when we were all starting to drift into one policy direction when we hadn’t thought about something. And the same should be true of a campaign.
Black voters make up about 25 percent of all Democratic primary voters, and 12 percent of all general election voters.
