WASHINGTON, Feb. 26 (UPI) -- A USA Today/Gallup poll indicates U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., will face a tight race for the presidency -- no matter who his Democratic opponent is.

Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., and McCain are statistically tied in a theoretical general election contest, separated by 1 percentage point. In a matchup against Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., McCain holds a 4 percentage point edge -- still a dead heat when the 3 percentage point margin of error is considered, the poll released Tuesday indicated.

The ability of McCain to run a close race among Democrats suggests his appeal goes beyond Republican Party loyalists, the poll results indicate.
