Quote:

Obama earns just 76% of the Democratic vote, with the folks in his party supporting McCain disproportionately older white females.

“The Democrats crossing over to support John McCain are your prototypical Hillary Clinton supporters,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “Barack Obama still has some work to do getting those folks on his side if he wants to have any chance of winning Florida.”

The survey also shows tightening among Hispanic voters over the last month. Obama now leads by just three points with them after showing a 14 point advantage in the previous survey.
