Not what I saw in Newsweek's summary of the polls today (which could also be wrong; IDK):

A UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies/Los Angeles Times poll released on May 28 found Bass leading with 26 percent support, followed closely by Raman at 25 percent and Pratt at 22 percent. The poll, conducted May 19-24 among 1,913 registered voters, marks a shift from earlier surveys that showed Bass with a somewhat larger advantage.

Raman told Newsweek in a written statement that the UC Berkeley/Los Angeles Times poll "shows that despite millions of dollars in attack ads from Karen Bass' political allies and millions more spent by the national MAGA machine to prop up Spencer Pratt, our campaign for working people is breaking through and I'm in position to make the general election."

An Emerson College poll conducted May 9-10 placed Bass at 30 percent, ahead of Pratt on 22 percent and Raman on 19 percent. Before that, a UCLA Luskin poll conducted between March 15 and 29 found Bass leading with 25 percent support, while Pratt and Raman were both in the low teens. Roughly 40 percent of voters remained undecided.

Prediction markets, meanwhile, continue to give Bass the strongest chance of ultimately winning the mayoralty. Kalshi placed Bass' chances at 62 percent, compared with 25 percent for Pratt and 13 percent for Raman as of June 1. Polymarket showed similar estimates, giving Bass a 64 percent chance, Pratt 21 percent and Raman 15 percent as of the same date. https://www.newsweek.com/bass-raman-pratt-chances-ahead-la-mayor-primary-12015817
