Yes, I've seen Jupiter during daylight a number of times. There were a series of weeks one year I was able to watch it about 20 min after sunrise in the morning sky - it was the place I was living in at the time, it nicely blocked the sun right out!
But even better was seeing Jupiter during a mid-morning daytime occultation. Having the moon nearby definitely helps, as it does for Venus. Jupiter was a bit of stretch without the moon to help but it was do-able once I knew where it was. The moon and Jupiter were about 45 deg high in the west at the time (was early Jan 2005 if I remember right...)
Sirius would be the next challenge, I haven't managed that one yet!
