Spencer Pratt leads Karen Bass in LA mayor’s race, California Post poll reveals
NY Post ^ | May 29, 2026 | Jamie Paige

Spencer Pratt is now Karen Bass’ biggest headache.

A bombshell California Post poll conducted with McLaughlin & Associates shows the reality TV star-turned-mayoral candidate has surged to a statistical tie with the incumbent mayor.

And voters blame homelessness, affordability and the direction of Los Angeles as the reason for turning on Bass.

Pratt now leads the field with 30.1% support, compared with 29.5% for Bass, setting up a razor-thin race heading into next week’s primary.

Socialist councilwoman Nithya Raman sits in third place at 23.4%.

Yes, anything is better than these two repulsive commies. I hope he wins.

Karen Bass needs to bow out.

By now, she’s accumulated a huge amount of graft and fraud from L.A. taxpayers.

She should move to South America, and live the high life.

If he doesn’tvget 50%, he will face Bass in a runoff. Hard road to travel.

He might lose in the general, but his influence will push out a lot more gop.votes (if there are any left)

It’s Los Angeles, Jake

While Pratt may yet succeed, it is not who votes that counts.

What matters is who COUNTS the votes.

Mayor Bass Ackwards probably has her ballot printing machines working overtime. Then, they will “count” them for as long as necessary.

i just voted for him. there are GOP votes- but we are outnumbered.since it’s a state primary, it’s likely to be
low turnout, possibly giving us a bit of an edge.

My only problem with him winning is where are those homeless bums going to scatter to?

The number will have to change drastically in his favor if he is to have a chance. All those Raman voters will not vote for Pratt. She was supposed to be the back-up for Bass. The ‘Jungle Primary’ system they have where the top two go into November elections was supposed to eliminate everyone except Bass and Raman. That way no matter who wins, the Democrats have the office. Then Pratt jumped into the race and that plan went all to hell.

Unless he can convince those Raman and Bass voters they have been lied to for decades, and carry the ‘Independents’ at the same time, he doesn’t have the strength to overcome the math............

Unfortunately…you’re probably right.
I lived in Downtown Memphis 2022-24. A total sh*t show on a smaller scale of course.
The reality of the situation is stark. We hope for the best I guess.
His message is correct and clear.

I was raise din Mississippi , southeast of Memphis. I really loved going to visit relatives there as a kid in the 60’s. It was a nice safe place where a kid could play outside in total abandon. It really pains me to see what it has turned into.................

No way Pratt wins if it’s close. In fact, you will notice a Republican never wins a close race.

If he wins, it won’t be because of GOP votes. But all indications are that his appeal extends well into the Indie and Dem ranks.

Mississippi is a great place.
I stayed in Memphis but worked in Tunica. Actually worked there on and off since 2017.
Lovely folks in Mississippi.
I made a lot of friends there.
As a “Yankee” nobody ever said that to me… except in jest.😉

I think this poll was Emerson or so Ive been reading all day. Lets hope this is true, if it is, both Pratt and Bass the Ghana fleeing murdering ass go to the general election, and if that happens, Pratt is going to wipe the floor with her..just have ONE debate that is all he will need, he can look right in the camera and ask people “Look around, are you happy with the way things are, that simple”

Let’s just hope and pray there is a ‘Silent Majority’ out there that will support him in November. The money he’s been getting says that it might be so................
