McCain edges Obama in poll

According to the latest Rasmussen presidential daily tracking poll, both candidates are tied at 44%. However, when voters who are "leaning" towards one candidate or the other are included, McCain is ahead 47 - 46%. Although statistically inconclusive, this is the first time McCain has been on top.

More tellingly, McCain has swung into a wide lead among "unaffiliated" voters: 52 -37%.

Also of note, and this surprises me: McCain is viewed more favorably among Republicans (87%), than Obama is among Democrats (83%).
