Bass in Tight LA Mayoral Race as Raman and Pratt Close In
A Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll for the LA Times shows Mayor Karen Bass in a razor-thin primary against Nithya Raman and Spencer Pratt, with Bass at 26%, Raman 25% and Pratt 22% among likely voters. About 63% say Los Angeles is on the wrong track, underscoring Bass’s vulnerability as momentum shifts. Bass’s favorability is 35% favorable to 57% unfavorable, while Raman is 40% favorable and Pratt 25% favorable. Pratt, a reality-TV figure, has channeled anger over homelessness, public safety and wildfire response into a campaign, and Raman—previously Bass’s ally—has framed the race around government dysfunction. Bass’s campaign points to internal polling suggesting stronger numbers. The survey of 1,351 voters conducted May 19–24 has a 3-point margin of error.
