A recent UCLA survey revealed a sharp drop in Mayor Karen Bass's popularity, with unfavorable ratings rising by 17 percentage points year-on-year. Nearly half of Angelenos now view her unfavorably, attributed mainly to her management of devastating fires. Although Bass's approval dropped from 46% to 37% over the last year, there are potential recovery opportunities. Critics and supporters alike agree she needs to improve public perception through effective recovery efforts in response to the crisis, as evidenced by low satisfaction ratings from voters following the disasters.
"Bass has taken the brunt of the criticism over the fires. That's the bad news. The good news for her is this happened overnight, and she has an opportunity to, by performing well in recovery, win back people she has lost."
"Less than 20% of respondents to a UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll released in March said she did an excellent or a good job in responding to the fires. More than 40% said she did a poor or very poor job."
