The pollsters have to start shifting the results to be closer to reality before the election. They wishcast the vote that they want to happen, hoping that they can effect turnout by making a loser seem inevitable and to shift feckless people into going with the "crowd." They normally do this a week or less to the election. The sooner they do it, the bigger a shift they have to admit to.
