McCain leads Obama by 5 points in a new national Reuters/Zogby poll.

McCain leads Obama 46 to 41 percent among likely voters, which the poll found is outside the margin of error. Reuters/Zogby had Obama ahead by 7-points as recently as mid July.

And Rasmussen shows McCain up by 5 points in Ohio:

McCain attracts 45% of the vote in Ohio while Obama earns 41%. That's little changed from a month ago when McCain led 46% to 40%.

When "leaners" are included in the totals, McCain leads Obama 48% to 43%.
