Pollster Ann Selzer Faces Backlash Over Inaccurate Iowa Poll, Retires

Selzer's unexpected polling miss in Iowa prompts Trump to call for an investigation, though her retirement was planned prior.

Ann Selzer, a renowned pollster, announced her retirement following a significant polling error in Iowa, where her survey showed Kamala Harris leading Donald Trump by 3 points.
The poll, released days before the election, was off by 16 points as Trump won Iowa by 13 points, leading to criticism and claims of election fraud from Trump.
Selzer maintains that her decision to retire was made over a year ago and not influenced by the polling error, as she plans to pursue other opportunities.
The Des Moines Register, which commissioned the poll, is conducting an internal review but has not identified a specific cause for the inaccuracy.
Selzer, known for her previous accuracy, suggests that her history of success may have led to complacency, and she remains committed to learning from the experience.
