(CNN) - John McCain does not appear to be making up ground in Ohio, the key battleground state that is crucial to keeping his White House hopes alive.
According to CNN's latest poll of polls of the state, the Arizona senator now trails Obama by 6 points there, 50 percent to 44 percent. That gap is two points wider than it was Monday and double what it was one week ago.

No Republican has won the presidency without carrying Ohio, and barring a major upset in another big state, the state's 20 electoral votes are a must win for McCain. The Republican presidential candidate is expected to spend two full days there later this week.
The latest Ohio poll of polls consists of recent surveys from LA Times/Bloomberg (October 25-27), Reuters/Zogby (October 23-26), and CNN/Time/ORC (October 19-21). CNN Poll of Polls do not have a margin of error.
Meanwhile, a new poll of polls in Florida shows a similar story. The Arizona senator trails Obama by 4 points there, 49 percent to 45 percent. That gap is 3 points higher than it was earlier today and is largely due to a newly released survey from LA Times/Bloomberg showing McCain down 7 points in the state. The Florida poll of polls also includes surveys from Suffolk University and Reuters/Zogby.

I'm almost sorry to leave this message, but it's on my mind. Every photo or video of McCain shows Cindy standing right behind him making faces. She shakes her head in disgust and screws her face up like she bit a lemon. She's an ugly sucker. It shows McCain's bad judgement that he married her.
Oh, wait, she's worth $100M. That's obviously why he married her.
"The Arizona senator trails McCain" Huh? Do you mean, "The Arizona senator trails Obama".

In the last part of the article shouldn't it read, "the Arizona Senator trails Obama (you have McCain) by 4 points.
The race also appears to be tightening in Montana and North Dakota with Obama leading in ND by a narrow margin. If youth voter complacency, African American voter suppression, and the dreaded Bradley Effect fail to be factors onnext Tuesday's election than it looks like Obama may win this race by a margin not seen since the first Clinton election.
Thank goodness they have "Joe the Plumber" to come save them.

Obama/Biden '08/'12
If he talks like a socialist, behaves like a socialist, gives speeches like a socialist, urges like a socialist, even lies like a socialist, then IT MUST BE A SOCIALIST. We do ant to head in that direction if we do not want to get there (a socialist state.)
Stop fantasizing and call it like it is.
Joe the plumber gives better interviews than Sarah Palin. What's up with that?
One question: is Earned Income Credit (EIC) socialism. If so we need to redo the tax code because some socialism is already written in it. If you don't know what EIC is, look it up at IRS.gov website.
The only thing McPain and Palin could "MAKE UP', would be more attacks and lies!
Enough is enough. We aren't going to fooled again but scare tactics and lies.
VOTE OBAMA/ BIDE
Looks like joe the fraud isnt cutting the muster for you.
Well, with the info that is being put on the web site about the electoral college votes already won by Obama through early voting, why go vote on Nov 4? I want to know when all of the early voting stuff started. I don't ever recall this happening before, so what is up with it now? And why haven't I been told I can vote early? Early or not, I will vote Republican as I have in every presidential election since 1980!! Obama may think he has already won, but my "late" vote on November 4 will count for something!
Keep voting, Obama people! We do not need anti-science flat earthers in the White House anymore. (google Palins remarks about fruit fly research-NO knowledge of science whatsoever and too stupid to find out before commenting)
PS The Humane Society has endorsed Obama-1st time ever to endorse a candidate!!! 🙂
We don't care what your polls say. We'll all know November 4th.
PLEASE HAVE McCAIN AND PALIN STOP COMING TO PA ..EVERYTIME THEY SHOW UP THEY LEAVE A BAD SMELL HERE.
PALIN SHOULD BE IN JAIL !!!! SHE IS NOT A FELON YET BUT WHEN
SHE GOES BACK HOME SHE WILL BE !!!!
Slip-slidin' away...slip-slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination the more you're slip-slidin' away...
Hi, CNN. You have "the Arizona senator trails McCain" – just wanted to alert you to your typo! Have a good night.
