New polls in five battleground states, that are capable of deciding the presidency, indicates that the fight for the White House between Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama fails to show prominent inclination towards any of the sides.

The CNN/Time Magazine/Opinion Research Corp. polls released on Wednesday indicate that the race for Florida and its 27 electoral votes is tied.

However, the new survey, conducted Sunday through Tuesday, indicates 48 percent of registered voters in Florida support Republican presidential candidate McCain for president and an equal amount support Obama, the Democratic candidate.

"Florida is a state that would be directly affected by offshore drilling, but voters in that state may be more affected by high gas prices," said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "Two-thirds of all Floridians favor increased offshore drilling for oil and gas."  

A CNN poll of polls in Ohio, also released on Wednesday, gives McCain a 3-point lead, 48-45 percent.
