Matt Drudge was long one of McCain's worst tormentors, but now he's become something of an ally.



Perhaps most notably, Drudge in recent weeks has seized upon any national polls that show the race close.



These surveys are often from Zogby or Rasmussen.



McCain, it seem clear, has noticed.



Appearing on "Fox News Sunday" this morning, he gladly engaged in a little process talk, dismissing Chris Wallace's assertion that national and state polls have McCain in a "world of trouble."



"First of all, there are polls this morning — reliable — Zogby, Rasmussen, Gallup — all those that show us in the margin of error or somewhat behind," McCain said.



Later he added: "I don't have to look at polls, but the polling numbers have closed dramatically in the last few days."
