Poll showing LA Mayor Karen Bass leading Nithya Raman by a wide margin was fake: company

A poll released earlier this month claiming Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass had a wide lead over Los Angeles City Council member Nithya Raman in the city's mayoral race was bogus, according to the company that released it.

Median Strategies on Monday said in its announcement about the mayoral race poll that it has stopped its polling project. Their poll showed Bass ahead by nearly 12 points, citing the response of 560 Angelenos and with a 4.1 percent margin of error.
