Veteran pollster J. Ann Selzer has announced her departure from election polling after her pre-election poll in Iowa inaccurately showed Vice President Kamala Harris ahead of President-elect Donald Trump in a state he had previously won easily in 2016 and 2020.
Selzer explained in an op-ed in the Des Moines Register that she had made the decision to transition to other ventures and opportunities after her latest election poll. She expressed pride in her work for various organizations interested in elections, despite the unexpected results of her final poll.
