Mayor Eric Garcetti is looking presidential to some Angelenos.

A majority of local area residents polled earlier this summer said they are just fine with the Los Angeles mayor running for president, according to results released Friday by Loyola Marymount University.

In a July survey that received 914 responses, 62.7 percent of Los Angeles County residents said they would be “strongly supportive” or “somewhat supportive” of Garcetti trying for the nation’s top political position. The percentage was slightly higher for residents of the city of Los Angeles, with 63.5 percent of those polled supportive of the idea.

Latinos were the most strongly in support, with 72.7 percent saying they back a presidential bid by Garcetti. The idea also polled the best with the 30-44 age-group, and among those who earn less than $40,000 annually.

Not everyone liked the thought of a run for president by Garcetti. The majority of those with a graduate degree and people with annual incomes of more than $100,000 said they do not support him running.

The results provide further fodder for an ongoing parlor discussion by political observers around whether Garcetti is entertaining a run for president in 2020. Recent out-of-state trips by the Los Angeles mayor have fueled the speculation. He attended a Democratic Party convention in Wisconsin and participated in a fundraiser for a mayoral candidate in New Hampshire, a state that kicks off the presidential primaries.

The discussion has surpassed earlier speculation that Garcetti was weighing a bid for either senate or California governor.

Fernando Guerra, a Loyola Marymount political science professor who led the poll, says that at least for Angelenos, there is support for the idea of Garcetti running for president, but “naturally, it’s far too soon to tell what kind of support that could translate into outside of Los Angeles.”

A spokesman for Garcetti on Friday waved off the speculation and polling, saying the mayor “is focused on being mayor of L.A.”
