LOS ANGELES — On the eve of her 100th day in office, Mayor Karen Bass enjoys strong approval ratings among Angelenos — a reservoir of goodwill that will be crucial for the new mayor during uphill battles ahead.
Half of Angelenos approve of the job Bass is doing so far, while just 14% say they disapprove, according to a Suffolk University/Los Angeles Times poll conducted March 9-12. A little more than a third remain undecided.
Bass took office as the first woman and second Black Angeleno to lead Los Angeles in mid-December — weeks after defeating businessman Rick Caruso and just two months after a leaked audio tape revealing racist remarks by council members upended City Hall.
