John McCain has taken the lead from Barack Obama in the latest Reuters/Zogby survey.

McCain is ahead 46 percent to 41 percent. Obama had been up by seven percentage points in the July Reuters/Zogby poll.

McCain is now seen by more voters as the candidate who would be the best manager of the economy. Obama was preferred by most voters on the economy last month. Obama also receives less support from Democratic voters than McCain receives from Republican ones.
