7. Unusual circumstances in this election that help Obama with undecideds:

Nov 2012

1/ Obama already has a late surge triggered by his handling of the hurricane devastation.

2/ Disaster allowed Obama to show leadership, while challenger had to pause campaigning.

3/ Rapidly increasing economic optimism, buoyed by news of a strong job's report and other data.

4/ A challenger whose exceptional propensity to lie is finally reaching low-information voters.

5/ A number of gaffes/obvious lies in the past week that are being called out by the media.

6/ Endorsements and Chris Christie praise that fly in the face of assertions that Obama is too partisan.

It isn't really too relevant what has happened in the past. All of these factors provide unique reasons in this election why Obama is now seeing undecideds breaking to him, as well as voters switching to him from Republican.
