WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) — Republican John McCain dismissed the sour poll numbers on Sunday that show him trailing in his White House race against Democrat Barack Obama and said his campaign is “doing fine.” Interviewed on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” the Arizona senator said he has pulled closer to Obama. “We’ve closed in the last week,” McCain said. “We’ll continue to be very competitive in many of the battleground states.” Recent public polls have shown McCain trailing Obama both nationally and in some of the battleground states, including Iowa, where McCain was campaigning Sunday. A Newsweek poll released Saturday showed Obama with a 13-point lead nationally. Iowa offers seven electoral votes. —-Contact The Daily Reveille’s news staff at [email protected]
