54% : The poll sent shockwaves across the country, sparking hope among Democrats that Harris had a chance to win a state that Trump carried effortlessly in 2016 and 2020.39% : She also posited that her poll failed to pick up the shift among men of color toward Trump, as 84% of the poll's respondents were white -- mirroring the demographics of the state.
27% : J. Ann Selzer is retiring from election polling just weeks after her once-respected poll showed that Kamala Harris was leading in Iowa -- only for Trump to win the state by more than 13 percentage points on Election Day.
