Pollster Ann Selzer reviews Iowa data after inaccurate Harris lead sparks media attention
Pollster Ann Selzer is reviewing her data after a recent Iowa poll inaccurately showed Vice President Kamala Harris leading Donald Trump by three points. This result sparked significant media attention but did not align with the actual election outcome. The Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll indicated a surprising shift from Trump’s previous lead. Many media outlets celebrated the findings, suggesting a potential change in voter sentiment in the Midwest. However, Trump won Iowa decisively, contradicting the poll's predictions. Selzer acknowledged the discrepancy, stating that the poll did not reflect the actual voting results. She plans to analyze data from various sources to understand the reasons behind the inaccurate predictions.
