In addition to Lieberman’s newfound polling strength, George Allen has opened an 11%(!) lead over Webb, according to the latest Zogby numbers (a lot of the polling took place pre-Foley, so you can maybe knock a few percent off of that):

Incumbent Virginia Sen. George Allen, who has suffered through some serious campaign missteps in recent weeks and days, is now making a comeback.
