I noticed the jump as well today. Perhaps others are spending more time on FT again or those who feel passionately about this are PM'ing others to cast their poll vote?
There was a lobbying effort -- or two or three -- which perhaps could have come to fruition today after the Hannukah and Christmas holiday periods ended. It's just the votes are rather extremely different and this period of time isn't usually amongst the most active FT periods . Either way, given how cliquish this place is, can't say I'm surprised that such a huge change in voting pattern took place within this day.
