FOX News Poll: McCain Leads Obama 45% to 42%

substantial shift in the vote preference among independents has given John McCain a slim lead over Barack Obama after the Republican convention. Independents now break for McCain by 15 percentage points (46 percent to 31 percent) in a FOX News poll released Wednesday.

Last month, Obama had a one-point edge among independents (August 19-20, 2008).

Overall, McCain leads Obama by 45 percent to 42.

I have -- even the Liberal-run electoral-vote.com shows Obama losing blood state by state -- roll a few days, and watch the fun as states that Obama though he would take go red, and easy wins like Washington drop to barely Obama.

For whatever reason (probably to keep Dems from killing themselves off) E-V.com blunts the effect by calling FL as dead even, which IMO It isn't. (MCCain is up 3 in FL according to the RCP average)

Correct me if I'm wrong..but during the primaries, didn't Obama win the states that vote Republican in the general?  Wasn't Hillary really the only candidate on the Democratic side that really had a chance to take the battleground states?

and they were caucus states, too, which is more a sign of the effectiveness of your organization in the state than your popular support among the democrat voters in the state.
