That doesnt make any since. Are they a 3 day average ?
Something Smells
The Early Line: Diageo/Hotline Tracking Poll
Obama/Biden: 47%
McCain/Palin: 41%
Undec 9%
—After a tightening earlier in the week, Obama has re-opened a 6-pt. lead over McCain. This was likely driven by the fact that Obama has expanded his lead among women voters. He now holds a 9 pt. advantage over McCain with women. He also has a 2 pt. lead over McCain among men.
—Among the 66% of voters who say the economy is their #1 issue, Obama has a 13-pt advantage. And he holds a 6-pt. lead - 44-38% - on the question of who’d do the best job handling the economy. In yesterday’s poll, the two were tied on this question.
—Palin’s approval ratings are also sliding and she has almost a 1-1 fav/unfav rating, with 46% rating her favorably and 43% rating her unfavorably.

Yes, a 3-day poll.
To gain 5 points in one day, yesterday and the day that dropped off would have had to have a total of +15 for Obama. As 15/3 would be 5%-points.
