DES MOINES, Iowa [WHO-TV] — Longtime local pollster J. Ann Selzer announced Sunday morning that she is retiring from election polling.

Selzer has been conducting Iowa polls since 1997, founding Selzer & Company in the late 90’s. The news comes after Selzer’s Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll showed the Vice President in the lead by three points in Iowa over President-elect Donald Trump. Trump ended up winning the state by more than 13%.

Selzer has had plans to retire for over a year and seek out new opportunities. Her work as a pollster was highly respected in the polling industry, with top grades for accuracy. Her 2016 Presidential election poll in Iowa showed Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton, and correctly calling the state again for Trump in 2020.
