What do Angelenos think about the start of Mayor Bass' tenure? Is the emergency declaration on homelessness working?

A leaked recording of L.A. City Council members and a labor official includes racist remarks. Council President Nury Martinez apologizes; Councilmember Kevin de León expresses regret.A little more than half of respondents to the poll didn’t think the state of emergency on homelessness, whichhad yet had any impact on the crisis; just under 3 in 10 said it had improved the situation.

The fact that the ratio between Bass’ approval and disapproval runs nearly 4 to 1 in her favor puts the mayor in a politically advantageous position as she pursues difficult goals, said David Paleologos, the director of the Political Research Center at Suffolk University in Boston, who oversaw the poll.

On the top priority, homelessness, Angelenos have limited expectations. Just 17% think the city will make “a lot of progress” on reducing homelessness over the next four years, while 45% say “a little progress” would be more likely. Republicans were far more pessimistic than Democrats.
