Mayor Karen Bass is leading the 2026 Los Angeles mayor’s race in the latest reported poll, with about 25% support. Her nearest challengers in that poll were Nithya Raman at 17% and Spencer Pratt at 14%, while roughly 25% of voters were still undecided.
What the race looked like
- Karen Bass: 25%.
- Nithya Raman: 17%.
- Spencer Pratt: 14%.
- Rae Huang: 8%.
- Adam Miller: 6%.
- Undecided: about 25%.
Why it still feels open
A large undecided share means the lead is real, but not necessarily secure. The UCLA Luskin poll also found 40% undecided earlier in the campaign, which helped explain why analysts called the race volatile.
Latest vote count
Early election-night reporting also showed Bass in front, with Spencer Pratt trailing behind her in the first round of votes.
Bottom line
Bass is the current front-runner, but the race has remained competitive because of the high undecided rate and a crowded field.
