It says that Obama’s lead is falling.

Its bad news for Obama.

Are you sure about that?

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.

Obama's favorability may be falling, but from my read, one month ago McCain's polling lead was 10 points. One week ago, McCain's lead was down 2 points. Now it is down another 1 point.

With a +-4.5% margin of error, Florida was safe when McCain was leading by 10. Now he's leading by 7, which is within the margin of error.
