Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears (R ) is locked in a tight race with her potential Democratic rivals in the state’s upcoming governor’s race, according to a new poll released on Friday.

According to the polling from Mason-Dixon Polling and Strategy, Earle-Sears trails Democratic gubernatorial candidate and former Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-Va.) 47 percent to 44 percent. Nine percent said they were undecided.

The same poll showed a slightly more narrow margin between Earle-Sears and Rep. Bobby Scott (D-Va.), who is said to be considering a run. Earle-Sears led Scott 46 percent to 44 percent with 10 percent saying they were undecided.
