What makes this laughable is the Real Clear Politics average -- including the DK poll -- has Republican candidate Scott Brown leading Democrat Martha Coakley by 6.2 points.
Here are the most recent poll numbers:

Yep. There's DK saying it's tied.
To give you an idea of the absurdity, statisticians will typically throw out the high and low numbers in a sample as outliers.
With this in mind, the statistically significant average is Brown +7.
Yet, the folks at DK show it tied.
Nice job, Markos.
America should REALLY take your polling seriously...NOT!
