The highly anticipated Selzer poll was scrapped just ahead of the Iowa caucus, but one Democratic strategist said the influential poll would have shown an unlikely candidate surging and another potential frontrunner in free fall.
The Des Moines Register/CNN/Mediacom poll was considered the gold standard for Iowa polling, scheduled to be released on Saturday night with CNN devoting an entire hour just to its release. But the poll from Des Moines-based Selzer & Co. was scrapped at the last minute after reports that some of the pollsters did not ask respondents about all the candidates in the race.
