Topalov is still #1 in the world but the big move came from Nakamura, who is now the #1 player in the U.S. GM Onischuk is #2 in the U.S. and Kamsky slips to #3 on the LIVE rating list.

Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Kamsky is still the best.
And Nakamura is only good in speed chess. Heh, heh.
Nakamura drew world no. 11 Svidler, 2739, and creamed no. 12 and former FIDE Champion Ponomariov, 2727, 2 zip to win the Donostia-San Sebastian tournament, right?
Nevermind, not good enough, according to Mr. J.A. Classical.
Nakamura is overly confident in himself and a tad arrogant. Kamsky is a more pleasant human being, but is on a chess decline…
Tournaments like San Sebastian shouldn’t be rated, because of the time controls (90 min + 30 sec). These days FIDE rates everything.
