Insurgent Republican LA Mayor Candidate Spencer Pratt Rising in Polls as Incumbent Democrat Karen Bass Flatlines
Spencer Pratt is proving that common sense is popular. The Republican candidate for mayor of Los Angeles was virtually unknown just a month ago, but following his knockout performance in the first mayoral debate, his numbers are going up, while incumbent Mayor Karen Bass is flatlining.
No amount of celebrity endorsements can save Karen Bass from her legacy. This woman let her city burn and now, almost a year and a half after the wildfires, a tiny fraction of homes have been rebuilt. She is utterly incompetent.
Pratt is not doing anything magical. He is merely pointing to the failures of the city’s current leadership and reminding the people of Los Angeles that they do not have to live this way. It’s working.

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.”
“Importantly, this is the 3rd survey confirming Nithya Raman is in third place in this race as of the writing of this memo. In fact, in the Poll Average, she is currently a half point behind Pratt, and two points behind Pratt in the survey we just fielded,” it added.
Here’s the latest viral ad from Pratt’s campaign.
