Most L.A. voters undecided about mayor's race, with support for Bass at 20%, poll finds

"This is a wide open race. The general narrative [of the poll] is that the mayor is not popular for somebody going into reelection, but the majority of people have not made up their mind whether they'll come back to her or go to someone else."

"A majority of Los Angeles voters are undecided about the race for mayor, with support for incumbent Karen Bass at 20%, according to a new poll. The poll by Emerson College Polling/Inside California Politics found that about 51% of Angelenos have not made up their minds about who should lead the city for the next four years."

"Although Bass had the most support among the candidates in the June 2 primary election, the poll showed that nearly half of Angelenos are unhappy with her performance. She was weakened politically by her handling of the devastating Palisades fire but has touted reductions in homicides and homelessness."

An Emerson College Polling survey of 350 likely voters reveals a highly competitive Los Angeles mayoral race with 51% of voters undecided about their choice. Incumbent Mayor Karen Bass leads with 20% support, followed by reality TV personality Spencer Pratt at 10%, City Councilmember Nithya Raman at 9%, tech entrepreneur Adam Miller at 4%, and leftist candidate Rae Huang at 3%. Bass faces significant political challenges, with 47% disapproving of her job performance compared to 25% approval, largely attributed to criticism over her handling of the Palisades fire. However, she has highlighted reductions in homicides and homelessness. The poll demonstrates an open race with less than three months until the June 2 primary election.
