Look at the State-by-State Changes over the last 3 months. Now look at the month of September. In less than 2 weeks, their "National Average" has shifted from +5.8 Obama to +2.5 McCain. That's a huge momentum swing. At the beginning of Sept. they had the count as Obama 238 - McCain 185, and as of today, it is listed as Obama 217 - McCain 216.

its called a convention bounce.

1 week, maybe 2 and it should go away.

if it doesn't, THEN we can worry.

for the 3 days between the conventions, Obama got an 8 point bounce.

McCain has gotten a little less than that, as most national polls/trackers have it tied/McCain +1.
