New Poll Shows Tight Race in Los Angeles Mayoral Contest Among Bass, Raman, and Pratt
A recent UC Berkeley/Los Angeles Times poll reveals a close contest in the Los Angeles mayoral race, with Mayor Karen Bass, City Councilmember Nithya Raman, and reality TV star Spencer Pratt nearly tied ahead of the June primary. Bass leads with 26%, followed closely by Raman at 25% and Pratt at 22%, all within the poll's margin of error. The race has tightened significantly, with undecided voters dropping from 26% in March to 10% in the latest survey. The candidates are drawing support from distinct voter bases, with issues such as homelessness, housing affordability, and public safety shaping the campaign.
