Joe Biden continues to hold a wide lead in the Democratic primary among African-Americans, according to a new poll that also shows black voters believe the former vice president would do the best job on most of the issues important to them. In the crowded Democratic field, Biden has 44 percent support — 29 percentage points higher than Sen, Bernie Sanders, who comes in second among African-American likely primary voters, according to the survey for the BlackPAC political action committee. Sen. Elizabeth Warren was third at 11 percent and Sen. Cory Booker followed with 5 percent. Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg and entrepreneur Andrew Yang all tied at 3 percent while former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick and California billionaire Tom Steyer were tied at 2 percent. Biden rated as the most likely candidate to be ranked as the second choice for voters who support or have supported Sanders, Sen. Elizbeth Warren or Sen. Kamala Harris,
