Supported polling data from a UC Berkeley-Los Angeles Times survey places Karen Bass at 26%, Nithya Raman at 25%, and Spencer Pratt at 22% among likely voters. Los Angeles mayoral elections are nonpartisan, with the top two candidates advancing to a November runoff if no one exceeds 50%. Unverified reports from the New York Post indicate Gavin Newsom endorsed Bass and cited local reductions in homelessness and violent crime.
