Iowa ‘Polling Guru’ Ann Selzer Retires After Wildly Inaccurate 2024 Election Poll

Ann Selzer, who had garnered a reputation as the most accurate pollster in Iowa over the last few decades, announced that she will be retiring after her wildly inaccurate 2024 election poll that found Vice President Kamala Harris carrying the Hawkeye State by three percentage points. Trump ultimately won by 13 points in a race that was called less than an hour after polls closed.

Selzer’s final poll before Election Day, which was released with the Des Moines Register, generated waves of enthusiasm among left-wing pundits and election analysts after Sezler predicted that Vice President Kamala Harris would carry the state with 47 percent of the vote to just 44 percent for Trump. The result generated nearly unmatched euphoria among Democrats, who believed that the poll almost certainly meant that Harris would sweep the rust belt and crush the Trump movement forever.

While the survey was an outlier — as other reputable pollsters had Trump comfortably ahead — Democrats pointed to Selzer’s stellar reputation as a reason to believe the results.

When you fail so badly you have two choices retire to a cabin the woods or take a senior position in the government.

Yep, she tried to tip the scales for Harris but the polling was so blatantly biased and even corrupt that she was booted out the door.  Retired my patoot!
