Taking a look back at the hard-fought presidential campaign from the primaries through the general election, an Associated Press/Yahoo poll conducted 10 times from November 2007 through Election Day found a significant number of voters who shifted their loyalties, sometimes more than once.
Seventeen percent of those who ultimately voted for Obama said that, at least one point, they supported McCain. Eleven percent of McCain supporters said there had been a time or times when they backed to Obama. Overall, just 28 percent of those who voted for Obama and 27 percent who chose McCain had backed their candidate in all 10 polls.
Other findings:
One in five who described themselves as independents in November 2007 divided 45 percent for McCain and 42 percent for Obama.
Three-quarters of those who said in January or April that they backed Hillary Clinton voted for Obama in the end.
