but, oldendick adds the winner of the south carolina democratic primary has not always gone on to win the democratic nomination. he believes the win in south carolina will come down to multiple factors. "there's the personality characteristic, is the candidate trustworthy... but there's also the issues -- where do people stand on the issues. are they closer to your positions? and then there's also the idea of credibility and will they actually be able to get things done. in the primary election you're making some calculus as to can this candidate actually win against their republican opponent in november." oldendick says what was a record turnout of voters for the republican primary here in south carolina will not be mirrored by the democrats this week. he does expect there to be a lot of voters, but nothing like what we saw back in 2008 with president obama's campaign. live in the newsroom, michal higdon, wis news 10. jackson is in south carolina encouraging people to vote. jackson says there are close to one point two million who are eligible to vote, but only about a million of the

women made up 61% of the vote in the democratic primary. so that tells you that african american women are campaigns have to focus on." especially african american women ages 45 and above, where sanders has a stronger focus on young voters. todd shaw, associate professor of political science and african american studies at usc says bernie sanders still has to let voters know who he is and what he's all about. "bernies is still trying to establish himself. convince african american voters this gentleman from a state that's 95% white in terms of the electorate he represents can represent us or represent me in terms of what african americans are asking. so i think that's the factor that's weighing on bernie sanders in terms of his connection in the african american community. although i think he sure is trying hard." shaw says clinton's powerful endorsements can also make it difficult for sanders to get ahead in the palmetto state. but we'll just have to see how primary unfolds come february 27th.in columbia, loren thomas news 19 wltx. of bern

- american voters taking stage for the first time in in 2008 55% of people who voted in the democratic primary were african-american. jaime harrsion, the chairman of the south carolina democratic party is anticipating that we could see those same numbers in this election. both 2016 democratic candidates, hillary clinton and bernie sanders have been working hard to secure the african- american vote in our state. recent cnn/orc south carolina polls show clinton is favored 65- percent among african- americans compared to bernie sanders at 28- percent. harrison says the candidates highlighting what's important to the african-american community while campaigning this past week will play a big role in today's primary outcome. "so i anticipate that at least half of the electorate on saturday will be african-americans and that's a significant proportion of the vote and you probably don't find that in many states but that is going to be the situation on saturday." leg up in south carolina compared to bernie sanders african-americans make up about 28-percent of compared to bernie sanders african-america

and he has won the hearts of democratic primary voters. but democratic primary voters who are concerned about the economy, jobs, such of middle class pocketbook issues clearly went for hillary clinton of that's what she has been hitting on. you heard this from her speech yesterday in nevada that you know a lot of what bernie sanders is promising can't be paid for and would hurt the middle class. kind of an interesting take that she has on the race, and it's i think telling you what it's going to be like in the future for this democratic primary process. you might like what bernie sanders is saying, you might think socialism is great, but it's actually going to hurt the middle class. i think that's the sort of the dividing line that we are going to be seeing the democratic primary going from here. again, it's really hard to see how hillary clinton just skates lieu the rest of this process when she really hasn't won the hearts of those democratic primary voters. it's a good win for her but there is a long road ahead. >> i have to leave it th
