www.cbsnews.comHere are the latest publicly reported polling updates on the Los Angeles mayor race (as of mid-May 2026), including the most recent poll figures I can find:
Latest poll snapshots
- Incumbent Mayor Karen Bass leads, with an Emerson College poll showing Bass at 30%.[3]
- In that same Emerson College/Inside California Politics survey (conducted May 9–10), Spencer Pratt is second at 22%—a 12-point jump from March—and Nithya Raman is listed at 19%.[3]
- The Emerson poll report also says undecided voters fell to 16% (down from over half in March).[3]
Other recent polling context reported
- Earlier in 2026 reporting, a poll described Bass leading at 22.8% in a “polling average” framing, with other candidates close behind (Raman and Pratt mentioned).[5]
If you tell me which candidates you care about most (e.g., Bass vs. Pratt vs. Raman) or whether you want “polls” only (no averages/analysis), I can narrow this to just the most relevant recent numbers.
