Poll shows McCain losing national popular vote

According to the L.A. Times, Sen. John McCain currently trails both Democrats vying for the spot on the ticket opposite him in November.

The poll shows Sen. Hillary Clinton leading 48-39, with 11 percent undecided, while Sen. Barack Obama has a narrower lead, besting McCain by a margin of 46-44 percent, with 9 percent undecided.

Both results are outside the poll's 3 point margin of error.

Whether the results are the product of more intense media scrutiny on the Democrats over McCain or are indicative of a deeper problem for the Arizona senator remains to be seen. However, it may be of some concern that just over a month ago, a Gallup poll showed McCain was beating both Democrats by double-digit margins.
