With a week to go to the Congressional Elections, the uncertainty is building for Democrats, even in Southwest Virginia's 9th District.
The latest News7 SurveyUSA poll released Tuesday morning shows a dead heat between long-time incumbent Rick Boucher and Republican Morgan Griffith.
Just a few weeks ago, Boucher appeared to be cruising to another term with double-digit leads.
Now the race is too close to call, as independents have shifted their votes to Griffith, and Boucher's lead among women has evaporated.
Here is a look at the results:
