Where are all these new Republicans Coming From

I wonder what happened in May of 2007 to cause the uptick in Republicans? And why even more in November and December?

Month Republican Democrat Other
Jan 32.10% 37.50% 30.30%
Feb 31.70% 37.80% 30.50%
Mar 31.50% 37.20% 31.30%
Apr 31.00% 36.50% 32.40%
May 30.80% 36.30% 32.90%
Jun 32.00% 36.10% 31.90%
Jul 31.30% 35.90% 32.90%
Aug 32.50% 37.40% 30.10%
Sep 32.60% 37.20% 30.20%
Oct 32.70% 37.30% 30.00%
Nov 32.50% 37.40% 30.20%
Dec 34.20% 36.30% 29.50%

Do you suppose it might have had something to do with this?
May 15, 2007

Then this?
November 6th

And this?
December 17th

*In their commentary on December’s increase Rasmussen attributes it to Americans suddenly loving the War in Iraq now that “surge” is working. Funny, I have a hard time believing that, especially since Rasmussen says George Bush’s popularity is still tanking. They love the decision, but not the Decider? Yeah, right.
