Independents Flock To McCain

Fox News has a poll (all right, go ahead and pile on Fox).  Because the overall number is similar to the other polls out there, I don't think there's much reason to be too skeptical of the underlying questions and how they split out.  The results on Independents are most remarkable.

McCain is leading among them 46-31, a 16 point swing in the last month.  Among Independents Obama has a 13 point advantage on health care (which seems never to be talked about) .  McCain has a 28 point advantage on Iraq, 5 point on the economy, 37 points on terrorism, and 11 on energy.

The Republican ticket has a  32 point advantage on experience, 19 point advantage on judgement, and a 2 point advantage on change!

My favorite is this one.  Is Barack Obama a talker or a doer?  55% of independents say talker, 26% say doer.  Lots of other fun questions in there including a desert island test.
