Not yet, it isn't:

And from here:

According to Ubuntu Engineering Foundations team manager Steve Langasek:

     Upgrades between LTS releases are not enabled by default until the first point release, 12.04.1/14.04.1, scheduled for July/August. It is recommended that most LTS users wait until then before upgrading to 12.04/14.04.

If you choose to upgrade before then, you can pass the -d option to the upgrade tool, running do-release-upgrade -d or update-manager -d, to upgrade from vanilla 10.04/12.04 to 12.04/14.04.

See this Q&A for further details:

Why is "No new release found" when upgrading from a LTS to the next?
