Soros-Backed LA DA Gascón Down 30 Points to Challenger Nathan Hochman
Crime is awful in Los Angeles.
Good news, Los Angeles! District Attorney George Gascón’s reign should end in November.
In the latest IGS Poll for The Los Angeles Times, challenger Nathan Hochman leads the progressive Soros-backed prosecutor 51% to 21%.
28% of the respondents chose undecided.
The race would be closer if the undecided voters chose Gascón, but he’d still lose.
In fact, Hochman gained ground. The August 18th poll showed him winning by 25%.
Gascón said he trailed in 2020, which he did, but nothing like the latest poll against Hochman.
Voters are worried about crime. This makes sense since Gascón is soft on crime:
More from the LA Times:
The new poll — which has a 3-point margin of error and was administered online in English and Spanish between Sept. 25 and Oct. 1 — asked 908 likely county voters how they feel about “crime and threats to public safety in Los Angeles County.” Those concerns are “a big problem” or “somewhat of a problem,” according to 94% of respondents, while only 5% said they are “not a problem” and 1% were undecided.
That’s bad news for Gascón, DiCamillo said, as it reflects “voter perceptions” that crime is a big problem in L.A. County. “And they’re not crediting Gascón with doing much about it,” he said.
Violent crime has jumped by about 8% from 2019 to 2023 in L.A. County, and property crime has climbed by 14%, according to California Department of Justice data. Police data do show some violent crime trending down in the city of L.A. this year, as Gascón has pointed out on the campaign trail.

So he will win by a narrow margin.
You stole my comment.
Never trust a man with a beard.
The size of the cheat will be another precious Democrat “first.”
This is the Los Angeles Oblast of the Peoples Democrat Republic of California. There, if anywhere, it cannot be ruled out that the Party will be able to invent, delete, and change enough votes so that the Party’s candidate wins handily. As we have seen for a generation or more; where the Left is involved what counts is not the votes of the proles but who counts and reports those votes.
Subotai Bahadur
While he’s probably an improvement over Gascon, this guy is no prize himself, telling local media that he’s endorsing Harris over ‘convicted felon’ (his words) Trump. This happened right after he said, in the same interview, that he wants to take ‘politics out of law enforcement.’ How could anyone who really wants or intends to do that, not recognize the obscenely POLITICIZED prosecution of Trump?

Don’t let him gaslight you. Democrats LOVE electing convicted felons. As long as they’re Democrats.
Don’t get overconfident. We don’t need another 2022 fizzle election.
LA has become like some dystopian mad max movie. Not sure it can be saved.
