""It is unusual for 40% of likely voters to be unsure of their choice just two months before an L.A. mayoralty election," said Zev Yaroslavsky, the director of the Los Angeles Initiative at UCLA Luskin."
"Among Latinos, Bass received the largest amount of support for any individual candidate, with 29% of Latino voters saying they planned on voting for the 72-year-old politician."
"More than half of voters said they viewed Bass unfavorably, with many pointing to her handling of the devastating Palisades fire as a major stain on her reputation."
"During her successful 2022 mayoral campaign, Bass relied on Latino voters to push her past fellow mayoral candidate Rick Caruso in a tight race."
A recent poll indicates that 44% of Latino voters in Los Angeles are undecided about their choice for mayor just two months before the primary election. Overall, 40% of voters from all ethnic backgrounds are uncertain. Incumbent Mayor Karen Bass has the highest support among Latinos at 29%, but only 25% overall. Many voters view her unfavorably, particularly due to her handling of the Palisades fire. Bass previously relied on Latino support to win her position in 2022.
