Renowned Pollster Ann Selzer Retires Amid Iowa Poll Controversy
Renowned pollster J Ann Selzer, known for her accurate predictions in past elections, announced her departure from polling after her recent Iowa survey inaccurately forecasted a lead for Kamala Harris over Donald Trump, missing the actual result by 16 points. Despite her strong track record, Selzer acknowledged the humbling nature of polling and the challenges of estimation. The Des Moines Register is reviewing its polling methods following the unexpected outcome, as Trump secured a decisive victory in Iowa and the electoral college.
