Karen Bass widens lead over Rick Caruso in Los Angeles mayoral race
California Rep. Karen Bass has been formidable in the polls since announcing her run for mayor of Los Angeles, and now, she seems to be pulling away, a new poll reveals.
According to a new UC Berkeley/LA Times poll, out of more than 1,700 registered voters, 43 percent favored Bass compared to just 31 percent for Caruso, a former Republican and billionaire developer. CBS News reports that 24 percent of the voters were undecided.
It is the second poll in recent weeks that has had Bass leading.
“We’re not going to let anybody break our alliance,” Bass said at the Latinos Con Bass rally on Saturday (August 27) at LA City College. “The city faces a crisis now and the time is right for unity. We are not going to allow our communities to be pitted against each other.”
