Latest Polls Show Obama Leading in Florida

Rasmussen’s latest count: Obama — 313 electoral votes, McCain — 174

Put Florida in the “Leans Obama” category!

At least Rasumussen — my favorite pollster because it’s so conservative that FOX News has a relationship with it — does.

After John McCain pulled even in Florida a week ago, Barack Obama is back on top this week.

The latest Fox News/Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the state finds Obama with 51% of the vote while McCain gets support from 47%.

This is the fourth time in five weeks that Obama has held a single digit lead over McCain. Last week was the exception with McCain up by a single point.

McCain has been running the “I’m Joe the Plumber” ad nonstop in Florida. If you’re not familiar (lucky you!), the ad shows Obama using the poorly chosen “spread the wealth around” phrase when he was actually going for “a rising tide lifts all boats,” then parades supposed McCain supporters proclaiming their Joe the Plumber-ness.

I feared seeing McCain’s ad might take a toll, but if Rasmussen is right, then as with every other McCain ad that focuses on Obama, after watching, people only become less favorable toward McCain.
