Ann Selzer, a prominent pollster for The Des Moines Register, is retiring after a significant polling error in Iowa, where her survey incorrectly predicted Vice President Harris leading President-elect Trump. Despite the error, Selzer stated her decision to retire was made over a year ago and is unrelated to the recent polling miss. She expressed pride in her career and plans to continue working with other clients.

Donald Trump's performance in the first three primary contests has not matched expectations, leading to speculation about a possible polling error. While his underperformance is not significant in the context of primary polls, it has raised questions about the motivation of anti-Trump voters and the impact of undecided voters. Three theories are being considered, with one suggesting that undecided voters may have ultimately backed his opponents, particularly in South Carolina.
