With all the combustion about the Lieberman-Lamont race over the last month or so -- and the general expectation that Lamont can or will beat Lieberman in the primary -- what's always been knocking around my head is that there've been a number of public polls and none of them showed Lamont actually ahead.

Well, until now.

The highly respected Quinnipiac poll has a new sounding out with Lamont topping Lieberman 51% to 47%, though Lieberman still appears to win decisively in a three-way match-up between him, Lamont and Foxwoods regular Alan Schlesinger.
