(WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- The Democratic race for Cook County State’s Attorney may be a tight one.

One political poll shows Democratic primary candidates Clayton Harris III and Eileen O'Neill Burke each with 21 percent of voter support – with many undecided voters.

A previous poll for Burke showed her ahead.

Harris has the endorsement of the Cook County Democratic Party, and Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle – the party’s chair – says money has aided Burke.

Harris' backers say Burke’s money is coming from conservative Republicans, reflecting her true nature. Burke's campaign says she’s a lifelong Democrat and it's Harris who has lobbied for Republicans.
