The new UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll puts Rep. Karen Bass ahead of businessman Rick Caruso - 34% to 31% among all voters.
Caruso is now just 3 points behind -- which is within the poll's margin of error. In August, Caruso trailed by 12 points.Caruso's campaign released a new ad last week called "Church of Karen," which takes a speech that Bass, delivered in 2010 at a Church of Scientology event and intersperses it with negative headlines about the controversial church."It's ridiculous to associate me with the Church of Scientology," Bass told ABC7. "I am a Baptist.
Caruso said he believes Bass is hiding something in connection with a recent burglary her home, in which two guns were stolen and two people were arrested. "Why doesn't she tell us what kind of guns they were?" he said. "We got two more guns on the street now. We have the highest level of gun violence. Why doesn't she show us the box that they were kept in? She says it was pursuant to L.A. city law, well, prove it. You've got an obligation. You're running for mayor."
Bass responded by saying, "I think that Caruso knows better than this, and to be someone who had my house robbed and to have my opponent turn it on me as though I am the criminal, is kind of pathetic."Copyright © 2022 KABC Television, LLC. All rights reserved.
abc7leanne I have such respect for Bass' accomplishments - but (1) she comes across as such a phony & (2) her campaign is atrocious. Conversely, Caruso's campaign - including his fantastic TV spots - is spot-on ... damn near perfect. I've concluded that Mayor Caruso might not be so bad.

Caruso wins!
Californian’s can blame homelessness, Democrats, minorities etc but this problem is not just in California, it’s worldwide! After the pandemic like any catastrophic event there will be a high crime rate! Pay attention to history, and world news people.
Scientology is the worst
Karen Bass Is A Failed Politician .... We Don't Need Another Loser Leading Los Angeles Angelenos...
Gee, who to pick? An affirmative action hack who has never accomplished anything in her life or a successful business guy?
Hotly contested race. Lots of good things about both candidates. Issue is the homeless need shelter. Who is better to handle that? The developer or Karen Bass. Guess we’ll have to wait & see
My skin is my sin 🤣
People are waking up and seeing that a vote for Karen Bass is a vote for allowing homeless encampments to continue to proliferate across our once great city.
Garbage Gascon knows exactly why the race is tightening
Its honestly sad if Bass wins, utterly useless
the Hispanic voters are going to give this to rick and then he will take over their neighborhoods and build large houses for the white man
I just watched another f'n pursuit this morning. Homeless are getting more dangerous. Crime is getting rampant. Police can't do anything and Gascon does nothing. A Bass/Gascon duo will only make things worse.
Both choices might not be so great but Bass over Caruso ! He will back up police misconduct and if things don’t change from within, nothing will ever change in this city! We don’t need more corruption in Los Angeles.
Karen Bass is a defund the police supporter
Yay!!!! More failed liberal policies on the way.
We need to save LA. We need new non ideological leaders. The old establishment has failed. Common sense and bold leadership is required. VOTE RickCarusoLA
A few word can easily explain it, because SHE SUCKS
Bc she’s shady
People... I don't have a vote in your city. LA needs a change. Don't be a Chicago or New York. Look at SF it's messed up. I was Democrat for long time, Latino so I got stuck in that train, but I realized they fuck everything up and don't work for the common good.
How will SECY PETE BUTTIGIEG, announcement that he be running for PRESIDENT effect the RACE,. since BUTTIGIEG is RESPECTED and supported by both parties
😂😂😂😂
BassIsTrash RickCarusoLA is L.A's only hope in getting better
ewwwww
If you want to see LA as it is. Crime, homelessness, dirty city, etc choose Bass. If you want to see a real chance we must elect RickCarusoLA
Pass on Bass
They both suck but Caruso sucks way less. So that means L.A. will vote in Bass. The leftist political agenda ruins L.A. and California. You get numb to it and unfortunately expect the worse.
LoL. Bass will win.
If you want to continue destroying LA, vote for her. If you want something new, vote for him. Is he perfect or ideal for LA? Hell no. Another greedy capitalist, but Ill take a greedy capitalist who knows how to get shit done than for another SJW warrior with her woke agenda
She works from home as much as the worst offender ericswalwell so I’m sure she’ll work as hard as mayor. Communists are hard workers.
Did she explain that speech or not? My vote may be up for grabs. Explain why you spoke to that group, Karen.
Im honestly shocked she even has a lead. Never surprised though that people are willing to virtue signal even if it means living in our current homeless nightmare. Come on people she’s had a lifetime of bureaucrat grifting to prove herself—we’re in this mess bc of her!
Because she will ruin LA
