Clemson Palmetto Poll-SC: Biden 35, Steyer 17, Sanders 13, Buttigieg 8, Warren 8

I don't doubt this being the final margin or numbers, but it makes more sense to me when you swap Steyer & Sanders.

I'd consider it good for Sanders if he can stay viable. But this is pretty much the best-case scenario I was thinking of for Biden

My theory on what the Biden camp is thinking strategically for the rest of the month:
- Win South Carolina, hopefully big
- That provides a great couple day news cycle that his campaign is back on track and he's the main alternative to Sanders
- Wins Alabama (big), Arkansas, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.
- Improves enough in California to not get shut out of the delegates.
- Win Mississippi (big) and Missouri (maybe Michigan)
- Surpass Bloomberg in Florida, win Ohio (maybe Illinois)
- Win Georgia (big)

Disregarding margins, all those states seem favorable to Biden already. The vagueness lies in Texas, North Carolina and Virginia. And even if he doesn't win those three, I think his margins will be close enough that he won't lose out on many delegates.

My biggest worry, if I were Biden, would be to miss viability in California. That's the easiest way Sanders can turn this from a 3 month nailbiter to a cakewalk.
