Lieberman finally goes up in a poll

The latest WSJ/NBC poll is good news for Lieberman, who finally seems to have arrested his downward slide in at least one poll.

This is a national poll, so all the requisite caveats apply -- it doesn't mean anything from a tactical standpoint (the polls that matter most are the state-specific polls in the determinate primary states). But, the trends are important, and in that regards, the news IS good for Lieberman. The same can't be said about Gephardt. (May results in parenthesis.)

Lieberman: 25 (21)
Kerry: 14 (17)
Undecided: 14 (21)
Dean: 12 (3)
Gephardt: 11 (16)
None: 7 (6)
Braun: 5 (4)
Edwards: 4 (5)
Graham: 3 (2)
Sharpton: 3 (2)
Kucinich: 2 (1)

This poll also has continued bad news for Bush and his GOoPer backers, with approval/disapproval ratings down to 56/38. That's down from 62/31 in May, and 71/23 in April.
