Mashable reports The Huffington Post has surpassed The New York Times in monthly uniques from the U.S., according to data from Comscore.

In May, The Huffington Post pulled in 35.5 million unique visitors from the U.S., compared to 36.6 for The New York Times.

Before you new media cheerleaders get too excited, note that AOLNews.com began redirecting to huffingtonpost.com at the beginning of May. We’ll have to wait to see how long the boost lasts — and whether the NYT can do anything to strike back against its upstart rival.
