[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ann Selzer Vows Changes After Iowa Poll Wrong by 16 Points

Pollster Ann Selzer has vowed to review the data after her weekend poll on the presidential race in Iowa turned out to be wrong by 16 points.

Though counting is still ongoing in the state after Tuesday's election, President-elect Donald Trump won the state's 6 Electoral College votes with 55.9 percent of the vote compared to Vice President Kamala Harris's 42.7 percent, per estimates from the Associated Press.

What Was Ann Selzer's Prediction?
The Iowa poll, conducted by Selzer & Company for The Des Moines Register/ Mediacom, found Harris had a three-point lead over Trump in the state, 47 percent to the Republican's 44 percent.

The poll surveyed 808 likely voters in Iowa between October 28 and 31 with its shock result falling within the poll's 3.4 percent margin of error.

Announcing her findings on Saturday, Selzer, previously described as "the best pollster in politics" by aggregator FiveThirtyEight, said Harris had "clearly leaped into a leading position."

However, the Iowa poll turned out to be wrong by 16 points following the results of Tuesday's election. The former president has won Iowa by 55.9 percent to Harris's 42.7 percent, a difference of 13.2 percent so far.

All:  There's a benefit to being cynical.  You don't get hurt.

Selzer knew this all along.  This was push polling, not polling.

I don't care if you run a "thousand simulations".  It was not going to happen.

It's time for you guys to see things clearly.

F  Hope & Change, Joy, Brat, Forward Together, No Malarkey, I'm with Her, When We Fight We Win, and all the other cute taglines.

What you see now is Selzer trying to save face.  But 16 points. NO.  It was never going to happen. Stop getting played, rubes.[/quote]
