Quote:

Obama wins 83% of the Democratic vote, compared to 79% of Republicans who support McCain in a four-way race. In a two-way contest, Obama wins 85% support from his base of Democrats, while McCain wins 83% support among Republicans.

The race is close among independent voters, this latest online survey shows - Obama wins 37% support, compared to 32% support for McCain. Barr, a former Republican congressman now running as the Libertarian candidate for President, wins 14% support of the independent vote, while liberal Ralph Nader is supported by 4%, and another 9% are undecided or favor someone else.

As the military and political pot continues to boil over in the former Soviet territory-turned-democracy of Georgia in Eastern Europe, likely voters here at home give Republican McCain a slight nod over Democrat Obama in the areas of foreign policy, the Iraq war specifically, and the war on terrorism.
