In the wake of the Los Angeles fires and revelations that fire hydrants weren’t working and a key reservoir had been empty for a year, a new poll shows that Los Angeles voters are more open to Republican leadership than they have been in more than a generation – and that LA Mayor Karen Bass’ tenure is in jeopardy.
The poll, conducted among likely voters in Los Angeles County between January 19 and 22, revealed that only 37 percent of respondents approve of Bass’ job performance related to wildfire response. Pollsters also asked respondents who they’d vote for, if the mayoral election were held today, in a hypothetical rematch between Bass and her 2022 opponent, businessman Rick Caruso, and only 36 percent said they’d vote for her again. It definitely looks like Bass won’t retain her job; while it’s true that voters have notoriously short memories, Bass is going to face at least one radical lefty in addition to two more moderate choices (rumors at this point are that LA City Councilwoman Traci Park and Caruso will also run), so Bass doesn’t really have a lane.
