Poll: Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass Falls Flat with Voters as Spencer Pratt Improves

A poll shows incumbent Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass falling flat with voters, while former reality TV star Spencer Pratt has improved his position against runner-up council member Nithya Raman in the nonpartisan mayoral primary.

Surveying 531 likely voters May 1-4 with a margin of error +/- 6.1 percent, the poll from Abundance Network in partnership with Tavern Research showed that Bass has hit a ceiling while Pratt and Raman are racing to take her on in a head-to-head matchup for mayor of Los Angeles, California.

“As Nithya Raman and Spencer Prattʼs numbers continue to rise from early March polling, Mayor Karen Bassʼs numbers are stubbornly stuck between 20-25 percent support from the primary electorate,” the poll found. “The most unpopular Democrat we asked about in our poll, Bass is only 4 points behind Pratt and 6 points behind Raman, an incredibly weak position for an incumbent with near universal name ID.”
