John McCain said he has Barack Obama and the Democrats right where he wants them, in a speech delivered this morning.

"The national media has written us off," McCain said, hitting Obama and congressional Democrats for plotting post-election strategy. "But they forgot to let you decide. My friends, we've got them just where we want them."

The speech, billed as a "comeback" or "turnaround" address by some this morning, seeks to address McCain's recent slide in national and state polls, where Obama now appears to have an advantage.

PHOENIX — A new statewide poll suggests Arizona's senior senator could have trouble carrying his home state Tuesday.

The survey of 1,016 registered voters by KAET-TV shows Republican presidential hopeful John McCain leading Democrat Barack Obama by just 2 percentage points. And the margin of error in the poll, conducted Thursday through Sunday, is 3 points.

McCain campaign aide Kurt Davis dismissed the results as irrelevant, saying the only people whose views count are the ones who will go to the polls. And Tucsonan Margaret Kenski, who has done polling in the past for Republicans, said surveys of all registered voters — versus just those considered likely to vote — tend to skew toward Democrats.
