Bass, Raman Court 1-in-3 Undecided Voters After 39%-28% Los Angeles Poll

Summary
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and challenger Nithya Raman used a Tuesday candidate forum to target undecided voters, with ballots set to be mailed on Oct. 1 ahead of the Nov. 3 election.
A Berkeley IGS/Los Angeles Times poll released last week showed Raman leading 39% to 28%, but about one likely voter in three remained undecided despite the race entering its final month.
Raman, 45, argued she understood voters’ frustration and distrust in government, while Bass, 72, appealed on affordability and public safety as she dismissed the survey as an outlier.
The unusually large undecided bloc has become the race’s key wild card, reflecting broader voter dismay and leaving the generational Democratic contest still fluid.
