Joe Biden has amassed a formidable 27 percent lead over the field of Democratic hopefuls in South Carolina, buoyed by solid support from African American voters, a poll released Thursday showed.

The former vice president has 39 percent of support, putting him far ahead of his closest challenger, Sen. Kamala Harris, at 12 percent, the Monmouth University Poll found.

Rounding out the list are Sen. Bernie Sanders at 10 percent, Sen. Elizabeth Warren at 9 percent and Pete Buttigieg with 5 percent.

Sen. Cory Booker and tech investor Tom Steyer are tied at 2 percent, with Sens. Michael Bennet and Amy Klobuchar and former Rep. Beto O’Rourke notching 1 percent support.

The rest of the field got less than 1 percent.

Fifty-one percent of black voters give Biden a thumbs up, compared to 12 percent for Harris and 10 percent for Sanders.

“South Carolina is the first state on the Democrats’ 2020 calendar with a majority black electorate. Despite some supposed missteps on the issue of race, Biden maintains widespread support with this voting bloc,” said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute.

​The poll was conducted from July 18 to 22 and surveyed 405 South Carolina voters by phone. It has a plus/minus 4.9 percentage-point margin of error.
