The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in Florida shows John McCain leading Barack Obama by seven percentage points, 48% to 41%. One week earlier, it was McCain by eight. A month ago, the Republican had a ten-point lead. This is the sixth straight Rasmussen Reports telephone survey to show McCain leading Obama in the Sunshine State.
McCain is now viewed favorably by 57% of Florida voters, a figure that has not changed since the previous survey. Obama is viewed favorably by 44%, reflecting a seven point decline in eight days. Even more dramatic is the fact that 40% of Florida voters have a Very Unfavorable opinion of Obama in the June 26 survey. That’s up from 29% eight days earlier before the debate over offshore drilling escalated.

McCain should squeak out Virginia. But don’t be surprised if its the last time Virginia votes for a Republican in a long, long time.
BTTT!
If McCain is in as good shape in Florida as he seems to be, he is probably in good shape in the country as a whole. That’s because Florida is one of those states with a demographic and a balance of interests and concerns that seems to mirror the nation as a whole, at least in the last few election cycles.
