A new public-opinion poll ahead of Tuesday’s Los Angeles mayoral primary finds Karen Bass, Nithya Raman, and Spencer Pratt competing in a close three-way contest. The Los Angeles Times reports Bass leads Raman by about one percentage point, with Pratt also closely trailing in the same range. Newsweek adds additional context, saying Raman and Pratt each gain roughly eight points since March, while Bass’ support is largely unchanged over that period. Together, the results suggest the race tightens as Raman and Pratt move closer to Bass’ standing. The polling figures indicate no single candidate holds a commanding margin, and voter support appears fluid compared with earlier measurements taken earlier this year. With the primary approaching, differences between the candidates are narrow enough that small shifts in voter preferences could affect relative standing. The sources do not provide additional details in the excerpts about sample size, methodology, or whether the poll was conducted among likely voters or all registered voters.
