Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is facing political annihilation as a brutal new poll reveals the majority of LA residents have had enough of her disastrous leadership, dealing a crushing blow to her re-election hopes.

The Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies/Los Angeles Times poll dropped like a bombshell, showing Bass drowning in disapproval ratings just two months before the Democratic primary. Even worse? She's getting demolished by a field of virtually unknown challengers.

"That she's having this much trouble against such a little-known field bodes very, very poorly for her," one political analyst noted, and they're absolutely right. When you're losing to nobodies, that's not a campaign problem – that's a complete rejection of your failed policies.

The Chickens Come Home to Roost

This shouldn't surprise anyone who's been paying attention to the absolute disaster that Los Angeles has become under Bass and her fellow Democrats. While she's been busy pushing woke ideology and coddling criminals, ordinary Angelenos have watched their city spiral into chaos.

Homelessness has exploded to Third World levels. Crime continues plaguing neighborhoods as soft-on-crime prosecutors let thugs walk free. Small businesses are fleeing in droves, and working families can barely afford to live in the city they call home.

"LA residents are finally waking up to what happens when you elect radical Democrats who care more about virtue signaling than actually governing."

Bass rode into office promising change, but all she's delivered is more of the same failed liberal policies that have turned America's second-largest city into a cautionary tale of Democrat governance gone wrong.

Meanwhile, as President Trump's second term focuses on restoring law and order nationwide, cities like LA serve as perfect examples of why Americans rejected the Democrat agenda so decisively in 2024.

The question now isn't whether Bass can turn things around – it's whether LA voters have finally had enough of watching their once-great city crumble under the weight of progressive politics. If this poll is any indication, Karen Bass might want to start updating her resume.

Glad I got out of California when I did! Watching from Texas and it's like watching a slow-motion train wreck.

What's her approval rating at now? Last I saw it was in the low 30s but wouldn't be surprised if it's dropped even further.

Finally people are waking up! You can only ignore the homeless camps and rising crime for so long before even die-hard Democrats start questioning their choices.

Took them long enough. Anyone with eyes could see this coming from miles away.

She's spending millions on feel-good programs while basic city services are failing. Roads are falling apart, trash everywhere, and don't even get me started on the needle cleanup costs.

This is what happens when you prioritize virtue signaling over actual governance. The people of LA deserve better than empty promises and woke policies that make everything worse.

I've lived in LA for 30 years and watched this city deteriorate under Democratic leadership. My store gets broken into monthly now and the police take hours to respond, if they come at all. Bass promised change but delivered more of the same failed policies.

Seriously considering Texas. Half my customers have already moved away.

So sorry to hear that. Have you considered relocating your business to a red state?
