Maybe that’s where part of the billion dollars plus from the Kamala Kampaign went - for her early retirement?
Asking for a friend.

Hopefully she was paid enough to make retirement worthwhile...before the campaign went broke.

The lesson here is that “Polls” are part of the Legacy Media and the general consumer doesn’t trust them anymore.
WINNING

She should take that dope Alan Lichtman with her. They can contemplate throwing away their reputations to stay in the good graces of the left’s polling thought police.

Why? She did was she was paid to do?
Her algorithms, that thing with the monkey Earl and the pixi stix, have always been correct.
So she got one wrong, horribly wrong, so wrong she obviously kicked Earl to the curb and manufactured polling numbers that would incentivise a wholey retarded Democrat base.
She retired alright, IN DISGRACE. Although I wonder if she’s capable of feeling shame being a narcissist and all. Probably see’s herself as a victim, not of the left but of the right.

Polling is a science of estimation

It was no “miss”.
It was deliberate suppression “poll” by Ann Selzer to suppress Trump voter turn out after she'd been paid off by the Harris campaign.She'll now go and live on the bribe she collected.

Good career move, actually. She has a lucrative future as a food n’ wine critic.

It was a push poll as Dems wanted turnout for down ballot.
For sure was planned disinformation.
Was also responsible for dumb money showing up to bet on Kamala.
Only accurate “polls” were the betting markets. So… Joe’s FBI raided the head of one of those and MSM said he “predicted” Trunk would win when all he did was set up a cash betting market.

Re: 7 - she wrote that she advised clients last year that she was getting out of polling.
However, there should still be a retrospective by her on why her Iowa poll was so far off from other polls. She doesn’t strike me as overly partisan, but she needs to explain how she was so far off the mark, regardless.

Honest polling is a tough job in modern times.
In the days of caller ID a great many people will not answer their phone (some even to people they know).
And large numbers of the younger generation prefer to communicate only by text. Some of these even consider being called rude.
This makes telephone polling just about impossible.
