Polls: McCain not closing the gap in Ohio, FL

Joe The Plumber argument not working

A CNN poll of polls shows that McCain is not making up ground in the battleground state of Ohio:

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.

Making matters worse, McCain is also apparently not closing the gap in Florida either:

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.

So much for the polls “tightening” or McCain being “down a few points” like he’s been asserting.

One more week until change….
