Pollster J. Ann Selzer is "reviewing her data" to determine why her pre-election poll, which set off a multi-day media firestorm, inaccurately showed Vice President Kamala Harris leading in Iowa.

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.

Yeah right, Ms. Selzer, you put out a propaganda piece that would make josef goebbels proud.

[Fester Chugabrew]

She needs a brain review.

[Carl Vehse]

MAybe she forgot to carry the one.

[dfwgator]

The check cleared.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Damn right. Stupid bimbo put that out and set me off like I was some kind of dumbass left winger.

[Larry Lucido]

It just causes their own supporters to stay home the motivating the opposition to get out and vote. They do this every time and it always backfires on them.

Ann, please permit me to explain in simple terms for you:

“D” means “Democrat”
“R” means “Republican”

That should help your polling in the future.

[FlingWingFlyer]

LOL! Good one.

[Frank Drebin]

Ann, reviewing her "data"...

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

She was running her mouth for almost a month that she “had a nasty surprise to toss into that bastard’s lap” the weekend before election day.

She’s biased toast.

[bigbob]

She needs to take a leave of absence to figure out how she became such a colossal assclown.

[nicksaunt]

She doesn’t care. Her retirement has been taken care of.

[verum ago]

The check cleared.

Given both the Iowa Poll and Selzer's track records combined with the sheer and utter implausibility of the final poll's results, this pretty much has to have been deliberate.

My working theory is that it was to primarily to provide plausible deniability to a steal attempt- not the presidential race (though they of course wouldn't mind trying to depress Trump voter turnout), but the District 1 House race. Miller-Meeks (R) is up only .2%...

Note to Selzer—I think you just found the “data”.

It was in Uranus.

Lol.

Check out this “expert”...

Even her Iowa poll in September only showed Trump leading by just 4%. Still wildly off the mark.

[Fledermaus]

Lying witch

[Jamestown1630]

I wonder how happy she is now.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

I think they published the numbers for Des Moines as though they were statewide numbers. Des Moines is the crazy town in Iowa. Every state has one.

> Maybe she forgot to carry the one. <

Quite possible. After all…
