Former President Donald Trump has labeled Iowa pollster Ann Selzer a "Trump-hater" and accused her of voter suppression. This came after a recent poll showed Vice President Kamala Harris leading him by 3 points in Iowa. The poll, conducted between October 28-31, found that 47% of likely voters would choose Harris, while 44% would choose Trump. Trump, who won Iowa in the last election, believes the poll is designed to discourage Republicans from voting. Selzer's polls have historically been accurate, but Trump dismissed the numbers, saying on Truth Social that the poll was run by someone who "called it totally wrong the last time.
" At a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, Trump repeated his suppression claims. The Trump campaign also released a memo accusing Democrats of using the poll to suppress voter enthusiasm. Selzer defended the poll's methodology, stating it's the same used in previous elections. Other weekend polls showed mixed results, with Harris leading in some Midwest states and Trump ahead in others.
