Obama-Biden 46%
McCain-Palin 44%
Undecided 9%

– The race has tightened in the last day. After trailing by 5-7 pts. for the last 10 days, McCain is now just 2 pts. behind Obama.

–One potential reason: Obama’s one-time lead on the question of who’d best handle the economy has evaporated. Today, Obama and McCain are tied at 42%. Independent voters favor McCain on the economy by an 8 pt. margin (42-34%).

–Even so, among the 62% of voters who picked the economy as their #1 issue, Obama leads McCain by 9 pts. – 49-40%.
