Famed Iowa Pollster Ann Selzer Retires After Bombshell Miss
I had my suspicions when her prediction first came out, I felt pretty stongly I was correct when I read this headline and now that I see her decision to retire from this particular polling contract was made a year ago, I am thoroughly convinced, she was bought and paid for.
The campaign threw a Hail Mary pass at the last minute, knowing they were going to lose and she got some of that missing $20 million (probably not much) because it was a nice retirement package and she had nothing to lose.
What made it a useless gesture, was it was Iowa, (once important in primary season for their unique, early caucuses). Not a swing state and not enough electoral votes, to be important even if her screwball prediction caused a few idiots to change their minds about who to vote for, or caused some disenchanted Harris voters who had given up, to actually show up and vote, rather than throw in the towel by staying home. https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/famed-iowa-pollster-ann-selzer-retires-after-bombshell-miss
Excellent Deductions CM
The hope was that Iowa and Wisconsin have a similar Demographic so if Iowa was going more for Harris Wisconsin Dems would come out too
Wisconsin was actually the closest of the swing states .9%
Iowa is just Wisconsin without Milwaukee
