Though he won the 2024 election, Trump alleges the news coverage of Selzer\u2019s poll \u2014 published days before the election showing Kamala Harris with a surprising lead in Iowa that didn\u2019t materialize in the vote \u2014 was intended to artificially help Democrats during the campaign.\n    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder vossi-paragraph\" data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cm4sievbc000b3d5vvklhfnfe@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">\n            Media experts warned the lawsuit could have a further chilling effect not just on news reporting, but also on political polling.

Trump and his allies also continue to rail against news outlets, threaten them, and pursue other court cases against large outlets and a book publisher.\n    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder vossi-paragraph\" data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cm4sievbc000d3d5vl1a0ejgk@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">\n            The case reflects Trump\u2019s anger at the final Des Moines Register\/Mediacom Iowa Poll of the 2024 election season. It was conducted at the end of October by Selzer\u2019s firm, called Selzer &amp; Co., and was based on telephone interviews with 808 Iowa likely voters. The poll found Vice President Kamala Harris with 47% support and Trump with 44%, a shocking result since Trump was universally expected to win the state.\n    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder vossi-paragraph\" data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cm4sievbc000e3d5vkwh93y6s@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">\n            And indeed, he did \u2013 by a margin of 13 points \u2013 which is key to Trump\u2019s argument that Selzer committed \u201celection interference.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder vossi-paragraph\" data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cm4sievbc000f3d5vmst368pg@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">\n            \u201cDefendants and their cohorts in the Democrat Party hoped that the Harris Poll would create a false narrative of inevitability for Harris in the final week of the 2024 Presidential Election. Instead, the November 5 Election was a monumental victory for President Trump in both the Electoral College and the Popular Vote, an overwhelming mandate for his America First principles, and the consignment of the radical socialist agenda to the dustbin of history,\u201d Trump\u2019s attorneys wrote.\n    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder vossi-paragraph\" data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cm4sievbc000g3d5ved9asx5a@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">\n            What the lawsuit lacks, however, is any evidence that Selzer did anything improper in reporting her poll results.\n    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder vossi-paragraph\" data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cm4sievbc000h3d5vwzeeo6kc@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">\n            \u201cI don\u2019t expect this lawsuit to go anywhere,\u201d election law expert Rick Hasen, a professor at UCLA School of Law, <a href=\"https:\/\/electionlawblog.org\/?p=147858\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wrote<\/a> upon learning of the case Monday night.\n    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder vossi-paragraph\" data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cm4sidh6j00003d5v3wh9h09o@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">\n            <em>CNN\u2019s Hadas Gold contributed reporting.<\/em>\n    <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2024\/12\/17\/media\/trump-lawsuit-des-moines-register-ann-selzer-poll\/index.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York CNN \u00a0\u2014\u00a0 President-elect Donald Trump is escalating his legal campaign against media outlets by suing renowned pollster J.
