Iowa Polster Wondering How She Blew the Call So Badly

Fox News

[Ann] Selzer is “reviewing her data to determine why a Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll released just days before the election produced results so far out of line with former President Donald Trump’s resounding victory,” according to the Des Moines Register.

The shock poll showed a 7-point shift from President-elect Donald Trump to Harris from September, when he had a 4-point lead over the vice president (47% to 43%) in the same survey. The Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa poll released Saturday had Harris up 47% to 44 %, in a state Trump had carried easily in 2016 and 2020 and wasn’t considered a swing state in 2024. Expand article logo  

Selzer, president of Selzer & Co., who conducted the poll, declared Harris had clearly “leaped into a leading position” ahead of Election Day. More

  1. I refuse to take polls. I only got one call this year, but had numerous texts. Why poll me anyway, I live in one of the reddest states. A state where every county always votes for the Republican candidate.

  2. …most pollsters are political activist Communist. Best to just tell them what they want to hear rather than risk a completely pointless verbal or physical assault; besides, they are working for the Father of Lies so youre just giving him his own back…

  3. yep, polls are like junk mail, spam and telemarketers. stuff the prepaid envelope with all the other junk mail and send it back. telemarketers and polls get the “do i know you?” “why are you calling people you do not know?” “are you a stalker?” “please do not call people you do not know” “do you know that is rude?”

  4. Remember this skank in 2026 when she’s calling midterm races. Pollsters like her never go away, because most people are too busy working and living to devote precious time to lying idiots. That, and Democrats need frauds like Selzer when they’re building an illusion.

  5. She (?) needs to get tested for TDS. I’m pretty sure she’s (?) got a full-blown case of it.
    Quarantine and isolation until a cure is found.
    Or, she (?) could move to whatever country will tolerate her (?) BS.

  6. Harris carried 5 out of 99 counties in Iowa. 4 of those are counties where large (and progressive) universities are located including Johnson and Linn counties – and these progressives can be pretty insufferable.

    Other than that, Iowa is red. Predicting Harris would win by 4 or 5 points in Iowa should have had anyone question their polling data.

  7. I’m with O.R.W.W. We don’t get calls from polsters where I live because (almost) everyone in the state votes republican anyway. I would love to get a call from a pollster just to be able to lie my butt off to them.
