I guess that depends on which polls you take a look at.
I would agree that McCain is behind in pretty much every electoral map related poll/map/chart. But not that he is losing ground on a daily basis, or that he is getting killed when it comes to the electoral map.
Here on Rasmussen - which has the race still pretty close in their national poll (46%/ 48% each), they have Obama ahead in the electoral chart but by only 10 or 17 if leaners are included.

With the Montana shift, the latest numbers from the Rasmussen Reports Balance of Power Calculator show Obama leading in states with 193 Electoral College votes and McCain ahead in states with 186 Electoral College votes. When “leaners” are included, it’s Obama 264, McCain 247.

And pretty much ever recent move/change on the Rasmussen electoral chart has been in favor of McCain (by either moving into/further into the GOP camp or moving out of/further out of the Obama camp):
