* Posted big gains among likely voters earning under $50,000 a year; he now trails Obama by just 4 percentage points compared with 26 earlier.
* Surged among rural voters; he has an 18-point advantage, up from 4.
* Doubled his advantage among whites who haven't finished college and now leads by 20 points. McCain and Obama are running about even among white college graduates, no change from earlier.
* Made modest gains among whites of both genders, now leading by 22 points among white men and by 7 among white women.
* Improved slightly among whites who are married, now with a 24-point lead.
* Narrowed a gap among unmarried whites, though he still trails by 8 points.
The poll, which found Obama at 44 percent and McCain at 43 percent, supports what some Republicans and Democrats privately have said in recent days: that the race narrowed after the third debate as Republican-leaning voters drifted home to their party.
