“Rick Caruso has a sizable lead of more than 10% among Latino voters and an even bigger lead among Spanish speakers,” said Adam Probolsky, pollster and data scientist.

“Caruso has a massive lead among Republican voters and outperforms Bass among No Party Preference (independent) voters. But Democratic voters will represent over 65% of turnout in November. And Democrats are supporting Bass.”

Adam Probolsky explained, “Bass or Caruso can still win this race. But Bass’ lead among white voters, the largest constituency, means she will be hard to beat.”
