WASHINGTON - John McCain bested Barack Obama 50-46 percent among registered
voters in the latest USA Today/Gallup poll, jumping 11 points over his
previous showing and taking his biggest lead since January.
McCain's showing is credited in part to a well-received Republican
Convention last week fueled largely by the surprise pick of McCain's vice
presidential running mate, Sarah Palin. The numbers out Monday show McCain
wiped out a 7-point lead Obama received after the Democratic convention two
weeks ago.
