A recent poll conducted by the Des Moines Register and Mediacom has stirred up a storm of reactions within Donald Trump's inner circle. The former president reportedly expressed private frustration over the poll results, claiming that it should not have been released.
Trump's advisors have attempted to reassure him by discrediting the survey as inaccurate and labeling it as an outlier. Despite efforts to downplay the findings, concerns have arisen among Trump's allies, particularly regarding the gender breakdown that indicates a shift in support towards Vice President Kamala Harris, with Iowa women favoring her over Trump by a significant margin.
Trump took to social media to voice his discontent, emphasizing his support among farmers and in Iowa while dismissing the poll as biased and inaccurate. In response, pollster Ann Selzer defended the methodology of the poll, highlighting her track record of accurately predicting Trump's victories in Iowa during the 2016 and 2020 elections.
While Trump and his supporters have criticized the poll results, Selzer maintains that the methodology used is consistent with previous successful predictions. The controversy surrounding the latest poll underscores the ongoing debate over the accuracy and reliability of polling data in political campaigns.
