Los Angeles Mayoral Race Tightens as Bass, Raman, and Pratt Compete for Lead
A new poll from UC Berkeley/Los Angeles Times shows a tight race in the Los Angeles mayoral election, with incumbent Mayor Karen Bass, City Councilmember Nithya Raman, and reality TV star Spencer Pratt all within the margin of error. Bass leads slightly with 26%, followed by Raman at 25% and Pratt at 22%. The poll indicates a significant shift from earlier surveys, with undecided voters decreasing from 26% to 10%. The race is heavily influenced by issues such as homelessness, public safety, and the aftermath of recent fires.
