The latest Fox News poll agrees with the other major polls, giving McCain the lead 45-42. A major cause of McCain bounce is a surge among independents, who now favor McCain by 15 points, 46-31.
Like most polls, Fox is overweighting Democrats, with 42% in their sample against 35% Republicans. If it’s true that the GOP is closing the party gap (and McCain’s surge with independents makes that sound likely to me), this race isn’t even as close as the polls show.
In possibly related news, the Obama campaign is pulling out of Georgia.
