STORRS, Conn. -- John Kerry continues to hold a large lead in the presidential race over George W. Bush among Connecticut residents, according to a University of Connecticut poll released Friday.

Fifty-one percent of those surveyed support Kerry, the Democratic presidential challenger, while 33 percent support Bush and 4 percent back Connecticut native Ralph Nader, who is running as an independent. Twelve percent remain undecided.

The poll numbers released were essentially unchanged from a similar University of Connecticut poll released March 29.

"Kerry runs very strong in Connecticut," poll director Ken Dautrich said. "As a New Englander, he's been very visible and popular here. Kerry's lead over Bush is mostly due to his broad appeal to independent voters."

In the poll, independent voters favor Kerry over Bush 48 percent to 22 percent.
