John McCain’s call for offshore oil drilling may have helped him in Florida, but it’s having the opposite impact in California. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the Golden State finds Barack Obama leading McCain 58% to 30%. A month ago, Obama led 52% to 38%.

The survey was conducted on Monday night, the day of McCain’s visit to Santa Barbara, where a 1969 oil spill helped launch the environmental movement. California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, is a Republican and a McCain supporter. However, he strongly disagrees with McCain’s position on offshore drilling and has called the California coast an “international treasure” that needs to be protected.

The data indicates that McCain’s energy proposal may have united his opposition. Obama leads 84% to 6% among California Democrats. That’s a vast improvement from a month ago when he attracted just 73% of the votes from his own party. Among unaffiliated voters, Obama now leads by twenty-three points up from a thirteen point lead in May.

McCain currently attracts just 67% of Republicans, down slightly from 72% in the previous poll. McCain last week called for new oil drilling off the nation's coasts, and plans to pay a visit Monday to His position is directly at odds with many Californians and supporter Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
