Similarly, voters were about evenly split (47%-44%) on whether government should prioritize clearing encampments from parks and neighborhoods or providing services to individuals living within encampments. Caruso supporters were much more likely to believe the government has gone too far to uphold homeless people’s rights. Nearly 90% of likely voters said homelessness in California had worsened in the last few years.Ībout 4 in 10 likely voters said that government in California “has gone too far in upholding the rights of the homeless at the expense of local residents,” while about 3 in 10 said the opposite. In this poll, the pessimism about government’s handling of the homelessness crisis remained ever present. Bass’ voters are nearly a mirror image, with nearly half disapproving of the police department’s work, almost 4 in 10 voicing no opinion and about 3 in 10 approving. Nearly half of Caruso’s voters approve of the job the LAPD is doing, while 3 in 10 have no opinion and fewer than 1 in 4 disapprove. About 3 in 10 of them approved of the job the LAPD is doing.

Just over half the likely voters said they feel about as safe as they did four years ago (43%) or feel safer (9%).Ĩ:09 a.m. The share of likely voters who feel less safe, 48%, is up from what it was in the recent past, but safety has not become as universal a concern as homelessness. Caruso has drawn strong support from voters who say they feel less safe now - just under half of the likely voters.

His message has been rooted in three issues: crime, homelessness and public corruption. His money has meant Caruso’s visage has been ubiquitous on the airwaves, the radio and on mailers in voters’ mailboxes. You may occasionally receive promotional content from the Los Angeles Times. Looking ahead at a head-to-head November runoff, Bass leads Caruso 37%-33% among all registered voters with 30% undecided.
