Yes, it is scandalous given how little Brown does, but given that, according to some media outlets, Kerry is disliked and Brown is loved, this shows the disconnect between media and reality (which was basically confirmed by every single other polls, who were showing Kerry barely behind Brown). Let's be sure that this will not stop the media from repeating their meme, but it is good to know.

Now it is true that, taken at face value, the poll does look good for Brown, but given they test Brown against two candidates who are not running, are fairly unknown in the rest of the state (Boston area aside where they tie Brown), and that the independents are grossly overrepresentated, it is probably less dark that it looks at first view.
