..is the bounce we are seeing for Obama today coming from his commercial?

I've always thought that the pollsters were only concerned about that final poll prediction, not the ones leading up to it; which makes sense. If I was a pollster, I might fugdge the numbers a little bit to give my polls more notice. Of course, on the final day, you want to be the most accurate. Is this why we're seeing stronger numbers for Obama today?
