Selzer got it stunningly wrong, as did the majority of the polling ecosphere. Selzer, more than most probably, sealed the public perception that the polls are rigged to oversample and favor Democrats because her poll was highly publicized and her "gold standard" reputation hyped in the final stretch before the election. She was off by 15.7%. Democrats should be furious at her for that. That experience though was emblematic of the gullibility and suicidal tendencies of the Democrats, et al. They will hype a ginned-up media talking point that ultimately undermines their interests and makes them blind to what is right in front of their faces, and demonize and castigate anyone that says the emperor has no clothes. “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”― George Orwell. That is where the Democrats are at now, telling their members to reject the empirical for hype, myths, shibboleths, stereotypes and slogans. Unless they turn the ship around they are finished.

Why did the Selzer poll include Kennedy since he has pulled out? He got 3% which probably a major share of them would have been Trump. Kind of another sketchy poll and slightly slanted. Oh well, what can u expect.

He is still on the ballot in Iowa.

He only tried to get off the ballot in swing states. Not states one candidate is expected to win easily.

ok, didn't realize that it worked that way but still I would've like to have see without Kennedy as it would have been more realistic.

Question about the 3rd district advertising: A Nunn ad says Lanon Baccam was the campaign manager for Joe Biden. Is that true? I thought he had an administrative position at the USDA? Please set the record straight. Thank you.

He was not the campaign manager. He was deputy state director for Biden's Iowa campaign before the 2020 election.

He held several roles at USDA during the Biden and Obama administrations.

Thank you for setting the record straight. These ads in the final days are simply screaming out lies and vastly stretching the truth. Do people really fall for that? Evidently? Again, thanks!!! Keep up your wonderful work!!!
