McCain: ‘I Think We’re Behind’
John McCain acknowledged Monday that his campaign is trailing Barack Obama during a radio interview with Don Imus.
“Oh, I think we’re behind,” McCain said. “But I think it’s margin of error, and in all the indicators, we’re coming up.”
McCain referenced outlier polls in 2004 that showed President Bush trailing Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), indicating the polls are not always reliable.
Real Clear Politics’ aggregation of polls in the presidential contest shows Obama leading with an average advantage of 7.6 percentage points.
