What Went Down On Super Tuesday

This will likely change, but right now Biden is winning Virginia by a larger margin than Sanders is winning by in Vermont.

I’ve been diving into the (partial) results from Virginia, and here’s what I’m seeing. Obviously, Biden is cleaning up in that state. But Sanders is doing relatively better than in 2016 in black communities and densely populated places, but not as well in places with many people over 65 or renters.

Alabama went for Biden tonight. Interestingly, the preliminary exit poll data suggests that a narrow majority of the primary electorate there was white (51 percent). This was a slight shift from the past two Democratic presidential primaries, when a slight majority of the electorate was black. Biden won by 60 points among black voters and by 27 points among white voters.
