According to the "analysts" has something to do with the Georgian crisis. That is likely to be forgotten in a few weeks so maybe the polls will change as quickly and dramatically as they have every time a new one comes out. Both will get an uptick or down tick after they announce VPs but that will likely be short lived. Obama's choice will be much more important. If it's one that will unite the Dems, the sheer superiority in registered Dems will make it difficult for the Republican's to overcome.
BTW, I use this site as it gives poll averages and has a neat little running tally graph showing poll average comparison.

It is unfortunate but true.
This of course will keep the race close all the way to election day. May well boil down to which guy gets in the last shot.
