Republican U.S. Rep. Lee Terry may start his re-election fight as the underdog against Democrat Pete Festersen, according to a poll commissioned by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

The poll, which was taken during the height of voters' frustration with Congress and the federal shutdown, showed Festersen with a 2 percentage point advantage over Terry.

The results: Festersen 44 percent, Terry 42 percent and 14 percent undecided.

Larry Farnsworth, a spokesman for Terry, questioned the timing of the poll.
