A bombshell California Post poll conducted with McLaughlin & Associates shows the reality TV star-turned-mayoral candidate has surged to a statistical tie with the incumbent mayor.
And voters blame homelessness, affordability and the direction of Los Angeles as the reason for turning on Bass.
Pratt now leads the field with 30.1% support, compared with 29.5% for Bass, setting up a razor-thin race heading into next week’s primary.
Socialist councilwoman Nithya Raman sits in third place at 23.4%.
With a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9 percentage points, the race remains statistically tight.
One of the more notable findings is Pratt’s strength among Hispanic voters, where he leads the field with 33% support, compared to 24% for Bass and 21% for Raman.

The poll found 62% of likely voters believe the city is on the wrong track.
The numbers are particularly brutal for Bass: only 32 percent approve of her job performance, while a staggering 66 percent disapprove, including 41 percent who strongly disapprove.

Homelessness and mental illness ranked as the top issue facing Los Angeles, cited by 26% of respondents.
Housing affordability followed at 18%, while inflation and broader affordability concerns came in at 13%.
Crime, drugs and public safety ranked fourth at 7%.
