(Storrs-AP, Oct. 29, 2004 9:20 AM) _ A University of Connecticut poll shows Fourth District Republican Congressman Chris Shays still leads his Democratic challenger.
The poll shows that among likely voters, Shays is ahead of Westport First Selectman Diane Farrell by five percentage points, 47 to 42.
A similar UConn poll two weeks ago showed Shays ahead 44 percent to 37 percent.
The poll director says Shays seems to be holding on to a marginal lead and time is running out. He says just how close the race ends up depends on turnout.

Take our poll and tell us what you are doing to support your candidate.

Schwarzenegger praises PC at Convention
Governor Schwarzenegger praised the Peace Corps at the Republican National Convention: "We're the America that sends out Peace Corps volunteers to teach village children." Schwarzenegger has previously acknowledged his debt to his father-in-law, Peace Corps Founding Director Sargent Shriver, for teaching him "the joy of public service" and Arnold is encouraging volunteerism by creating California Service Corps and tapping his wife, Maria Shriver, to lead it.
