That African American vote is a major focus of the pundits looking at exit poll data.
Clinton isn't black, but she's doing better among black voters than Obama eight years ago. She's up 84-16, compared to Obama's 78-19 win.

Obama voters showed up in force for Hillary Clinton #SCPrimary. Bernie voters? not so much. new lows among first-time and <30 voters.
