That's going to put a little tarnish on Selzer's gold-standard reputation.

Well, there goes my Saturday night.

Are they at least gonna release it online. I don't care if one call had Pete off I'm fairly sure anyone who is supporting Pete would say Pete anyways. I was holding out on my Iowa prediction for these numbers.

[Warren 4 Secretary of Everything]

Ofc Pete f’in Buttigieg ruins things again. Can’t wait for this guy to lose and crawl back into obscurity.


*I know it’s likely a methodology issue, but still*

[Gracile]

I'm disappointed in Selzer that this poll had such a glaring oversight, and likely denies us a gold-standard poll before the caucus.

[KaiserDave]

F*** you Pete


sowwy, but really

[LAKISYLVANIA]

i'm pissed off, i stayed awake for this.

[Fmr. Gov. NickG]

Obviously this poll was going to be disaster for Buttigieg.  If it was looking good for him, his campaign certainly wouldn’t have complained.

[NOVA Green]

This is ridiculous....

Mayor Pete claims the polls are biased against him because of possibly one survey question and now it is cancelled....

Wow!!!--- I'm worried that my campaign might under-perform on the poll so now I'll complain to CNN and coverage of the poll is cancelled?

[soundchaser]

We’ll always have Paris Emerson.

[Eraserhead]

Wow. What a disaster. RIP.

[JerryArkansas]

Jesus the conspiracy flying in this thread is peak atlas. 

[Cinemark]

CNN tweeted out a statement saying the poll was canceled then immediately deleted it. Maybe they are trying to track down the issue instead of just trashing the whole thing.

I think people just don’t like the Pete campaign and are jumping at the opportunity to blame it.

[Terry the Fat Shark]

Drop out Mayo ButtiPete! The people demand it!

The Des Moines Register, CNN and Selzer & Co. have made the decision to not release the final installment of the CNN/Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll as planned this evening.

Nothing is more important to the Register and its polling partners than the integrity of the Iowa Poll. Today, a respondent raised an issue with the way the survey was administered, which could have compromised the results of the poll. It appears a candidate’s name was omitted in at least one interview in which the respondent was asked to name their preferred candidate.

While this appears to be isolated to one surveyor, we cannot confirm that with certainty. Therefore, the partners made the difficult decision to not to move forward with releasing the Iowa Poll.

The Register has published the Iowa Poll for 76 years, and it is considered the gold standard in political polling. Selzer & Co., which conducts the poll, is recognized for its excellence in polling. It is imperative whenever an Iowa Poll is released that there is confidence that the data accurately reflects Iowans’ opinions.

I'm waiting for someone to claim that the poll was canceled because it was hacked.

[Former Dean Phillips Supporters for Haley (I guess???!?) 👁️]

CNN tweeted out a statement saying the poll was canceled then immediately deleted it. Maybe they are trying to track down the issue instead of just trashing the whole thing.

They really should, that is ridiculous and a complete waste.

Find the problematic call or whatever and fix it.

I’m sorry but whichever Buttigieg supporter threw a hissy fit and yanked the poll....go f yourself
