Ann Selzer Announces Retirement from Election Polling Following Controversial Iowa Poll

Veteran pollster J. Ann Selzer has announced her retirement from election polling after facing significant backlash due to a recent Iowa poll that failed dramatically in its predictions. The poll, which showed Kamala Harris with a substantial lead over Donald Trump, ended up being a major miss, with a 16-point discrepancy. In light of the controversy, Selzer stated she will be moving on to other ventures and opportunities. The company behind the Iowa poll is currently investigating a possible leak of the results, which were shared prematurely on social media prior to their official release.
