(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.

McCain will win ........ I am democrat voting for McCain and we will show you that you are completly wrong.........
The people of Ohio have obviously seen that the era of the angry old republican is over. The US, no... The world is ready for "Real Change", not 2 people on stage being angry and "Mavericky". Only 6 more days until the election, and hopefully the end of the tyrannical facist reign that has been the Bush administration. Keep up the good work Ohio, now get out and VOTE!

NoMoe Bush & McCain!
NoMoe BS so vote for Obama & Biden '08
The gap here in Ohio is only going to widen in Obama's favor.
Our state has suffered too greatly under 8 years of Bush to want even 4 more minutes of Bush Junior.
He can shoot off his big mouth all he wants.
We're farm country here and we all know bull when we see it.
And as for the pig with lipstick ........
Hmmm, you think maybe all the REAL plumbers and workers in Ohio are voting for their best interests? I do! Obama '08!
Just wanted to point out that you said "The Arizona senator trails McCain by 4 points there, 49 percent to 45 percent". And it should be "the Arizona senator trails Obama by 4 points there..." Just thought I'd point it out–I'm a die hard fan of your work, keep it up!
NEVER GONNA GET IT
Ohio for Obama? I hope so...
Nice poll choices - some of the worst pollsters in the business.
Zogby? LA Times? Suffolk? Please.
I live in Ohio and never have I seen this. It wasn't until Palin joined the republican ticket that we started seeing republican signs or bumper stickers. I started to wonder if this was really Ohio. It as if the so called proud Republicans are ashamed of their own candidate and what Bush has left us. Instead of being proud Republicans, let's be proud Americans. We lost jobs to Mexico and McCain sure isn't offerings us jobs.
Ohio goes to Obama this time!
Maybe if he picked a running mate who had a clue McCain may be more competitive. Sorry John, your running mate is clueless and it's no wonder that over 40% of Alaskans support Obama over there own governor. Apparently she's not the most popular governor in the country after all even after her redistribution of the oil companies money to the people.
Obama's second-biggest contributor was Goldman Sachs, with $874,207. Others in his top 20 list of contributors are J.P. Morgan, Citigroup, UBS and Morgan Stanley, center figures show. Only UBS, a foreign-owned bank, is not on the Treasury list.
The Illinois senator also got significant amounts from Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns, Merrill, Credit Suisse, Wachovia and Bank of America. In addition, he received contributions from all the banks on the Treasury Department's bailout list
America is sick of the GOP divisiveness.
Join Obama new UNITY party!
Where John McCain is really slipping is in mental hygiene. I would have never voted for him, as President, but I did, at one time, have an extreme amount of respect for him as a war hero. But with his chosing of "Ditsy" as VP, and his own stupid antics, I now have only pity for him. He needs to slip quietly into the Arizona night and leave the political future to people who actually have one.
Mccain Is Going To Loose For Sure! I Guarantee It! There Are Just Too Many Reasons To List Why!
I believe with every part of my being that if he had chosen a VP who had half a brain, McCain wouldn't be in this position.
once your an under dog you stay as under dog.... good buy GOP we are done with you guys
Good.

Dear CNN:
I thought McCain was the Arizona senator, yet the second sentence of the last paragraph of this article says, "the Arizona senator trails McCain..." Are you saying that McCain is chasing his tail in Florida?
Excellent! More people are realizing that no matter what McCain says–and he'll say anything, as long as it's a lie–he is all for the rich. Obama was raised by regular folks and knows what it's like for the rest of America. He will cut our taxes. McCain will cut his own. Which do you prefer?
It's going to get higher as the election get closer.What 's happening is the last eight years of Bush's ecomomic blunders and polices which McCain backed Bush on90% the american people are really hurting and they just aren't willing to take that chance with McCain.Those supporting Bush are being convinced by McCain that he is different.It"s sad that Bush can pour money to McCain's campaign behind closed doors and MCCAIN accepts but he won't come out as the president of the US to support or campaign with him.So what does that tell you.If McCain was to win this race who do you think he would turn to to move this country on the right course Bush Or Clinton?He would turn to Bush even though he talks about reaching across the parties.Americans please don't be blinded and regret your vote for McCain.Think about what it has been like for the past eight years .Think of you children and their children future.We need to bring our service men and women home instead of McCain keeping them In wars that will be years from ending and many more lives lost
