WASHINGTON, June 17 (UPI) -- Independents show their independent streak in a Washington Post-ABC News poll that indicated a split between the two likely presidential candidates.
In the Washington Post-ABC News poll released Tuesday, Sen. Barack Obama D-Ill., and Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., are close to even among respondents identifying themselves as political independents, a shift toward the presumptive Republican nominee over the past month. Despite McCain's gains, poll results indicated Obama still held a narrow advantage over McCain.
