Obama's eight-point lead in June has all but evaporated, according to a new survey by the Pew Research Center, which said that 46 percent of voters now favored the Illinois senator over 43 percent for McCain. The swing states--CO, FL, IN, MI, MO, NC, NH, NM, NV, OH, VA--are even closer. A less than 2% change in these states will give McCain the 278 electorial votes needed for Bush's third term.
