Since Hillary Clinton dropped out of the race for the White House, Barack Obama has enjoyed a bounce in the national polls and in many state polls. John McCain’s home state of Arizona is no exception, though the presumptive Republican nominee still enjoys a decent lead in the state.

In April, McCain led Obama by twenty points. Now, the latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey shows McCain attracting 49% of the vote while Obama earns 40%. Six percent (6%) say they’ll vote for some other candidate and 5% remain undecided. Twenty-seven percent (27%) say McCain is too old to be President while 50% say Obama is too inexperienced.

1. Bush won by 11%,

And he wasn't even born in Arizona. This spells trouble for McCain.

2. Good catch

and welcome to DU.

3. Quite right. The fact Arizona is not falling all over themselves to vote for a native son

is pretty shocking.

6. He's not what we'd call a native son

He didn't move here until his 40's when he married Cindy Hensley.

4. nor was he

raised in AZ. He was considered a 'carpet bagger' by some when he first came to Arizona.
