Renowned Pollster Ann Selzer Retires Following Controversial Iowa Poll

J. Ann Selzer, a renowned pollster known for her accurate election predictions, announced she is leaving election polling after her firm's recent inaccurate prediction in Iowa, where they showed Kamala Harris leading Donald Trump. Selzer, who has been associated with the Des Moines Register since 1997, will not renew her contract for 2024, citing a transition to other ventures. Despite her recent miss, Selzer has a history of successful predictions, including accurately forecasting Barack Obama's 2008 caucus victory and Joni Ernst's 2014 Senate win.
