PRINCETON, N.J., Sept. 3 (UPI) -- A Gallup poll indicates Republican John McCain has lost some white male voters to Democratic challenger Barack Obama in the U.S. presidential race.
The Gallup poll released Wednesday showed McCain leading Obama by 13 percentage points among non-Hispanic white men -- a drop of 8 percentage points from a poll taken during the month of August.
Among white women, Obama's lead over McCain in both polls remained the same at 4 percentage points, Gallup reported, noting Obama in polls shows a huge lead among both black men and black women, and leads among Hispanics, regardless of gender.
