In California, the ever-excellent Field Poll has released its
latest numbers (PDF). (early September numbers in parenthesis)
Other/Undecided 32 (30)
Clark 17 (4)
Dean 14 (23)
Lieberman 14 (15)
Kerry 9 (11)
Gephardt 5 (8)
Sharpton 4 (3)
Braun 3 (4)
Edwards 1 (1)
Kucinich 1 (1)
Looking at the male/female split, it looks as though Clark may have taken a great deal of Dean's male support.
Regardless, that whole silly issues of "electability" is overblown, as all the top candidates are within MoE of beating Bush in California:
Clark 45
Bush 43
Dean 42
Bush 46
Lieberman 41
Bush 45
Kerry 42
Bush 46
Gephardt 43
Bush 45
Meanwhile, an ABC News/WP
national poll essentially shows a five-way tie for first (September results in parenthesis):
Dean 17 (14)
Gephardt 13 (14)
Clark 12 (6)
No Opinion 12 (8)
Kerry 10 (14)
Lieberman 9 (22)
None 9 (3)
Braun 6 (4)
Sharpton 4 (5)
Edwards 3 (3)
Kucinich 2 (2)
13 points down for Lieberman in a single month. Ouch. Recent Gallup and Newsweek polls, on the other hand, have Clark up top.

Remember, national polls aren't predictive of anything. Only early state contests are. However, national polls are good at gauging candidate momentum.
