BRIAN NELSON, CNN ANCHOR: President Clinton has kept a rather low profile during this presidential campaign. But lately, he's been busy with another political contest, his wife's Senate race in New York. This weekend, he's out campaigning once again for Hillary. How's he doing? CNN's Kelly Wallace takes a look.</s>KELLY WALLACE, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): The president says he's just having a good time, and doing whatever he can to help his wife's Senate race. That especially includes raising money: at least $150, 000 here in Skaneateles, more than $3 million since July, $1 million alone at this Hollywood gala. But -- according to the latest campaign reports -- Mrs. Clinton's opponent, Republican Rick Lazio, has raised more than three times as much over the past two months. And while the first lady collected about $22 million since February, Lazio has raised about $19 million since May -- a sign that despite his late start, he has the money to compete with his better- known opponent. A key battleground could be upstate New York; Central New York, for example, where registered Republicans outnumber Democrats about two to one. But Mrs. Clinton has been eating into the traditional Republican advantage in the region. In a Syracuse newspaper, Zogby international poll of registered voters, Lazio has just a 10-point lead, and while that's up from two months ago, it may not be sufficient to overcome Mrs. Clinton's expected big win in New York City.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It's been pretty much stagnant for her, which has got to be a disappointment. But Lazio in upstate simply hasn't made the splash that people would like him to make.</s>WALLACE: A key issue here is the economy: This part of the state has not seen the boom enjoyed by other areas of New York. (on camera): And that is why Mr. Clinton keeps playing up the first lady's economic contributions in Arkansas -- and in the White House -- and why both candidates tout their economic plans in a region that could decide the New York Senate race.
