Three-Way Tight Race Emerges in LA Mayor Contest

A UC Berkeley/LA Times poll shows incumbent Karen Bass at 26%, Nithya Raman at 25%, and Spencer Pratt at 22% among likely voters in the Los Angeles mayoral race, signaling a tight three-way contest. Any of the three could advance, with a potential Bass–Raman runoff favoring Raman 32% to 28% among registered voters, though turnout, undecideds, and those who would abstain remain influential. Pratt is leading campaign contributions at about $3.26 million, followed by Bass at $3.13 million and Raman at over $931,000. The race centers on homelessness, housing affordability, and public safety, with Bass and Pratt bearing high unfavorables and Raman gaining momentum as voters weigh turnout in this nonpartisan contest.
