  1. On Monday, he filed a consumer fraud suit against pollster J. #AnnSelzer & the #DesMoinesRegister over an outlier poll it ran showing #Trump trailing #Harris in the presidential race in Iowa, a conservative state that he went on to win by 13 percentage points. The complaint does not hinge on a #defamation claim—public figures must cross a high legal threshold to prove that they’ve been libeled—but rather a perceived violation of the state’s consumer protection statute.

  7. All day, #political nerds had been waiting for the results of #AnnSelzer’s famously accurate poll of #Iowa. The state hasn’t been swingy in a long time, but the #Selzer poll, conducted for The #DesMoinesRegister, can offer clues about broader trends in the electorate. In 2016, when many #Democrats were feeling complacent about a #HillaryClinton victory, her survey showing #Trump leading by 7pts in Iowa was an early indication of his underestimated strength in the Midwest.

    “ The poll shows that women — particularly those who are older or are politically independent — are driving the late shift toward Harris.”

    “ It’s hard for anybody to say they saw this coming,” said pollster J. Ann Selzer, president of Selzer & Co. “She has clearly leaped into a leading position.” desmoinesregister.com/story/ne
