Billionaire Rick Caruso has taken a narrow lead in the primary election for Los Angeles mayor, according to a poll commissioned by a group supporting his closest rival, Democratic Congresswoman Karen Bass.
A survey released by the Communities United for Bass for LA Mayor 2022 on Friday showed 37% of likely voters backing Caruso and 35% favoring Bass, among a field of about a dozen candidates.
However, when it comes down to a head-to-head race with the top two candidates, Bass took the polling lead, where 48% of voters prefer the congresswoman compared with Caruso’s 39%, according to the poll.
