It's interesting, the piece seems to suggest that this drop is due to Harper talking about issues that stray further to the right:

The race is tightening in a week in which Mr. Harper has strayed from his carefully scripted campaign, responded to questions about same-sex marriage and raised old Reform Party concerns about a biased judiciary, civil service and Liberal-dominated Senate.

When I heard him going on about these things on the radio the other day, I had a feeling it was going to bite him in the ass. These are the same issues that turned off voters in the last election.
And before anyone claims media bias, you should be aware that the Globe and Mail editorial staff has come out and endorsed Harper as their candidate (which I suppose is media bias in an of itself) and the polls are being done and analyzed by Alan Gregg, a former PC strategist.
