"Bass jumped to 30% support in the poll released Wednesday by Emerson College Polling/Inside California Politics, up 10 points from the last poll conducted by the same group released in March. The new poll of 350 likely voters was conducted on May 9-10 - after a televised debate between Bass, Pratt and Raman - and has a margin of error of 5%."
"Pratt, the former reality TV star whose home burned in the Palisades fire, is now at 22% support, gaining 12 points from the last poll. Raman, a Los Angeles City Councilmember and former Bass ally, was in third at 20%, up 10 points from March and within the 5% margin of error with Pratt."
"The poll showed a sharp reduction in undecided Angelenos as the primary closes in. More than 50% of voters were undecided in March when Emerson's last poll was released. Now, that number has dwindled to just 16%. But those 16% of undecided voters could play a big role in the outcome."
"The latest poll comes just three weeks before the June 2 primary, where the top two vote getters will advance to a Nov. 3 run off unless a candidate gets more than 50% of the vote. Bass continues to hold the lead among likely voters in her bid for reelection, but not by a big enough margin to avoid a likely runoff with either Spencer Pratt and Nithya Raman, who are battling for second position."
Karen Bass leads among likely voters in the June 2 Los Angeles mayoral primary with 30% support. Spencer Pratt follows with 22% support, and Nithya Raman is third with 20% support. The top two vote-getters will advance to a Nov. 3 runoff unless a candidate wins more than 50% in the primary. Bass increased to 30% after a televised debate, rising 10 points from a March poll. Pratt gained 12 points to reach 22%. Raman gained 10 points to reach 20% and remains within the poll’s margin of error compared with Pratt. Undecided voters dropped from over 50% in March to 16% now, and they could affect who finishes second.
