By John Whitesides, Political Correspondent
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - In a sharp turnaround, Republican John McCain has opened a 5-point lead on Democrat Barack Obama
in the U.S. presidential race and is seen as a stronger manager of the
economy, according to a Reuters/Zogby poll released on Wednesday.
McCain leads Obama among likely U.S. voters by 46 percent to 41
percent, wiping out Obama's solid 7-point advantage in July and taking
his first lead in the monthly Reuters/Zogby poll.
