She was the only one who found Trump was beating Clinton in 2016 and the one who said polls were way overestimating Biden in 2020. She also showed Obama was doing better than polls expected in the 2008 primary.

Can she never make a mistake or something? There’s always a first time for everybody

Of course she could make a mistake, but the silly thing is that Republicans on this thread are suggesting she’s throwing out a crap poll to try and massage the voters (which is what the vast number of right wing polls are doing), or that she’s wiling to torch her reputation to something something is ridiculous copium.

Create an account on a betting site and go all in on Harris winning Iowa and every swing state because of one single poll. What could go wrong?

Nobody is staking all their hopes on this poll. Harris is going to win, though. If you find those other sites comforting, click their links and enjoy for the next couple of days.

Actually if you look at the recent electoral polls trump will still win if he loses iowa

Lol
If he loses Iowa he is not going to lose just Iowa. He can't win the election without White suburban women. He should go get his orange jumpsuit fitted.

If white suburban women didn’t vote for Hillary, what makes you think they’ll vote for Kamala?

Kamala is also going to get less of the black vote than Hillary and Biden despite being a black woman who attended Howard U. She isn’t going to win much of the Latino vote neither. She’s going to lose much of the Muslim and Jewish vote to Trump this year due to the war Biden failed to care about. Hes tapped out and retired to the beach for six months while people are dying.

Democrats are stuck in the past and still think the Obamas can influence peddle millennials and the black vote. They can’t.

The first black President excitement was a one time only thing due to the historic nature and due to turning the page from eight years of the Bush admin.

During the past decade, we’ve had 12 -16 years of Democratic administrations and culture and the gig economy and debt economy for students has expanded significantly. People are upset when they see Illegals can get food stamps and homeownership down paymen grants when Americans struggle to pay for groceries and housing and are inundated with debt.

And why would she risk her reputation and her livelihood? She took a huge risk putting out a poll that doesn’t agree with everyone else and I bet you anything she is right. And note, right means within her margin of error. It doesn’t mean Harris is going to win, but that it is going to be within 2-3 percentage points (ie much closer than anyone thought)

I don’t believe the election is close. I think he’s going to win by a landslide

I won’t make any claims about who will win but I strongly doubt any Trump win will be a “landslide.” More like he’d hobble across the finish line on crutches constructed from Elon’s cash.

Not even sure if he can do that though? Not to mention he’s acting like a losing candidate more and more.

But I guess we’ll see! I’ll meet ya in this forum late Tuesday night.

+1

This poll isn't going to change the election results. Nobody much less Ann Selzer would torch their reputation just to make Dems feel good for 3 days.

PP, where have you been?

1. Dobbs
2. J6
3. 8 years of disgusting insults and lies
4. Felonies
5. Dobbs again

Not to mention plenty of women didn’t like Hillary but thought she’d win so voted for Trump because they thought it wouldn’t matter. They know better this time around

Add to this now:
Public simulation of fellatio performed on a mic 3 days before the election.
Audio from Access Hollywood going viral on TikTok among aghast Gen Z voters who were too young to notice in 2016 or remember now.

Not sue if anyone posted this in the thread. Iowa’s 6 week ban is a problem.

One of the Iowa Supreme Court judges who decided on the six-week ban is on the ballot Tuesday. That’s pretty galvanizing.

What is different today versus 2016?

Dobbs, for one.
Trump is better known for what he is, for two.

I suspect Missouri will follow suit in the coming years as well.

+1 Iowa has been a constant swing state.

Did you see the post above yours? Ann Seltzer polls are usually very accurate.

Ok. Everyone is wrong sometimes, and here, direct experience strongly indicates this poll is very wrong. It is also an outlier among polls. For all I know, Ann Seltzer got a huge payday to sacrifice some credibility to put out good numbers for Harris. In any event, I do not believe it is accurate. This is based on the experience of having grown up there and having watched people abandon the Democrats first hand.

A Democrat got 47.5% of the vote for Iowa governor in 2018.

That’s a lot different than a national democrat. And kamala harris is a bottom of the barrel national democrat at that. No chance there has been a huge swing in her favor.

Copium

Like i said, you’re free to think whatever you want. Experience tells me you are wrong and Seltzer is wrong.

Except Seltzer has been spot on for the last 12+ years, even as she’s contrasted other polls. I tend to lean on her reliability as a good indicator of where things are vs. your gut.

That’s your choice. I believe she is wrong. I would not even be surprised to learn she got paid big money to put out a poll like this. I fully expect these types of organizations to throw out some last minute polls purporting to show that Kamala Harris is riding high as a last ditch effort to try to push her across the line. It is all BS by a very partisan set at this point.

NP. Was she wrong when she called Iowa for the obese orange man in 2016 and 2020?

She is now claiming there has been an astronomic 11 point shift leftward in one election cycle. That doesn’t happen with the political polarization in the country. Nothing in the 2022 midterms showed that Democrats were gaining ground in Iowa.

Post-Dobbs, new Democratic candidate, post J6, and voters have had 4 more years to "get to know" Donald Trump.

Plus it might not be an 11 point shift. Her margin for error is 3.4%. So it could be 5-8 point shift which is not actually weird. A lot of places saw a similar swing between Obama in 2012 and Trump in 2016.

Voters outside of DC don’t give a shit about J6, and Trump’s favorability is higher than it has been.

Are you kidding? That is the one thing independents are unable to put aside in considering a vote for Trump. J6 was an appalling attack on democracy.

Poll after poll shows you are wrong.
