Trump Calls for Investigation into Pollster Selzer

News summary

Donald Trump has called for an investigation into pollster Ann Selzer after her Iowa poll, released just days before the presidential election, inaccurately predicted Kamala Harris would lead Trump by three points. The poll was later proven to be off by 16 points, as Trump ultimately won Iowa by a significant margin. Following the backlash, Selzer announced her retirement, stating the decision was made over a year ago and emphasizing the unpredictable nature of polling. Trump, however, accused Selzer of causing 'great distrust' and suggested her actions were intentional, labeling the poll as 'totally fake'. Selzer defended her career, stating her extensive experience and insisting that polling is a science that can yield unexpected results. The fallout highlights the ongoing tensions surrounding polling accuracy in political contests.
