President-elect Trump has criticized retiring celebrity pollster Ann Selzer and called for an investigation into the Iowa poll she conducted just days before the election, which swung the race.
“An entirely false poll that caused great distrust and uncertainty at a critical time. She knew exactly what she was doing.” Posted by Trump Visit his Truth Social site.
In the post, Trump thanked “the great people of Iowa” for voting despite allegations of possible “election fraud” by Selzer and the Des Moines Register, which published the poll.
“We need a full investigation!” Trump added.
Days before the election, Selzer's poll shocked the nation when it found Vice President Harris leading President Trump in Iowa. Trump won the state by more than 20,000 votes.

Selzer, who has worked with the Register on a contract basis since 1997, said he wanted to release the poll after the election results, and acknowledged it was “ironic” that it was the other way around.
Selzer said she notified her employer of her decision more than a year ago.
