Here are the most recent published poll updates I can find right now for the Los Angeles mayor race:
Latest poll headlines
-
May 12, 2026 (Emerson College poll): Incumbent Mayor Karen Bass leads at 30%, while former reality TV star Spencer Pratt is at 22% (a 12-point gain from March). The poll also says undecided voters dropped to 16% (from over half in March).[3]
-
Apr 2, 2026 (UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs poll reporting): Reporting from this poll states L.A. voters are still largely undecided (40%) in the mayoral race.[8]
Who’s trending (based on those recent releases)
- Bass is consistently shown in the lead in the latest Emerson release.[3]
- Pratt is shown as closing ground quickly (noted as a big jump from March in the Emerson poll coverage).[3]
- Undecided appears to be a major factor, though one poll notes a reduction (to 16%) and another notes 40% undecided—so the race is still sensitive to survey timing and methodology.[8][3]
If you tell me whether you mean primary or general (and any candidate names you care about), I can narrow this to the most relevant latest poll results for that specific contest.
