Obama also has drawn even with McCain among white voters (45% to 45%).  
In the Sept. 9-14 survey, the first conducted after the party

38%). Notably, McCain's advantage among white non-college graduates  
also has almost disappeared over this period (from 16 points in mid- 
September to four points in the current survey).
