US presidential race deadlocked
Adjust font size:

And on economy, the dominant issue of the race, McCain has whittled Obama's advantage to five points, the smallest it has been all year.

With partisan lock-in more complete, the race for independents will invariably heat up. In the new poll, independents now break narrowly for McCain 50 percent to 43 percent. It is a small advantage, but the Republican's first of the campaign.

The poll was conducted by telephone September 5-7 among a random national sample of 1,133 adults, including interviews with 961 registered voters.
