Top pollster J. Ann Selzer will retire from the Des Moines Register's famed Iowa Poll and the survey will "evolve" after it failed to accurately capture former President Donald Trump's strong support in the 2024 election, resulting in a 16-point miss.

The announcement from Selzer comes after the Register in its final poll before Election Day delivered a bombshell result showing Vice President Kamala Harris leading Donald Trump 47-44% among likely voters in the state, raising speculation that Harris could mount a stunning upset.

While other surveys had found Trump comfortably ahead of Harris in the state, Selzer's poll raised Democrats' hopes in the final days of the race and was widely reported by other outlets.

Trump ultimately swept to victory over Harris in the state by a 13-point margin, winning the actual vote 56-43%. Selzer later acknowledged her poll was a "big miss" and suggested that her poll might have "actually energize[d] and activate[d] Republican voters who thought they would likely coast to victory."

A lot of people and pollsters called it out as BS. She was basically paid to make a false poll before her retirement.
Nobody believed it except idiot democrats looking for hope a few shills here.

My brother called telling me about that poll and how it had demoralized him.

I told him that was the whole point of the poll...to demoralize Trump voters and get them to not bother to vote.

Looks like I was right

Polls are meant to sway public opinion...not measure it!

She is claiming her poll was correct but drove more Pubs to vote?

Holy shit…that is amazing on a 16 point miss.

If the MSM would have gone with their first reaction of "that's BS" it would have been OK but they had so little hope left that they about-faced and ran with it for a couple of days.

We had NUMEROUS thread by the dumb fuck cultists on this board swearing it meant Trump was going to lose in a landslide.

NO CONNECTION TO REALITY. It is AMAZING, THEY NEVER COURSE CORRECT.

Actually, they did course correct but it took them straight into the Sun.

Morning Schmoe's first take was more or less "BS" and they moved on, the next day they were in full throat touting the bogus poll as gospel.....CNN did the same thing but to a slightly lesser degree.

Leftist pundits, pollsters, etc. are in a bubble of TDS. They can’t get it right.

She really believed that her fake Iowa poll would help Harris.

 

[Missourian]

She saw the writing on the wall...that Trump was winning ...and tried to put her thumb on the scale and use her reputation to drum up enthusiasm for a Harris win.

Instead, she retires in disgrace.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Please take Alan Lichtman with you when you go..

As of 2016, it should be abundantly clear that most polls are about what the person behind the poll wants to hear.

+This is going to cause involuntary incontinence among democrats.


Trump nearly at 60 percent and it is going to go higher before he even takes office especially in light of the destruction the left is causing before they have to leave the white house.

The democrats' greatest weakness is their invincible belief that all of America agrees with them, especially when it comes to Orange Man Bad. In fact, the rest of America is left scratching their heads, wondering why they are supposed to hate this guy so much. Thus, I would not be surprised at all if the Quid Pro Joe administration DOES try to cause as much disruption and mayhem as possible as they slink out the door, expecting America to fall in line behind them and support everything they do, then shriek in faux outrage at the inevitable backlash.
