Renaming to J. Ann Selzer

[edit]

Per WP:COMMONNAME as most media outlets, save for 538, refer to her as "J. Ann Selzer" rather than "Ann Selzer". Her official Twitter name is also displayed as such and I would assume that "J. Ann Selzer" is what she would like to be known publically. — Tony Patt (talkcontribs) 18:48, 2 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

That's correct. Professionally and on first reference, she prefers J. Ann Selzer. In regular conversation, she goes by Ann. Source: Selzer & Company employee of 18+ years. 136.44.64.66 (talk) 21:28, 14 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Can you cite a more clear source than the 538 pollster ratings? It isn't obvious how one would verify the cited information from the link you have provided. Elli (talk | contribs) 15:42, 4 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Elli: I didn't want to directly cite a csv since in my mind it could be more confusing, but on second thought that's probably the way that makes more sense here – updated above. 24.19.234.175 (talk) 15:55, 4 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
Alright. Still would prefer if you cite them individually, but I'll add this to the article. (Also, can I suggest you create an account?) Elli (talk | contribs) 15:58, 4 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

I could make that edit req later, but probably just as additional citations here (Gannett papers have a terrible level of link rot, nothing is really available before 2010). 24.19.234.175 (talk) 16:02, 4 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yeah; redundant refs in cases like this are good. Elli (talk | contribs) 16:04, 4 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
Re-activating this request to ask to replace the existing section with the following, which adds redundant references (only where available) as well as sort keys to fix D+/R+ sorting:

[edit]

In the section “Polls conducted by Selzer and Company”, the “Result” column has at least one error, which is found in the line for “2020 President.” As it is factually known, the winner of the 2020 elections was Joseph R. Biden with 51.31% of the vote with Donald Trump coming in with 46.85% of the vote, however this section in the article has that information reversed. This needs to be corrected to show that Joseph R. Biden won the 2020 presidential election.[6] My source is the “Federal Election 2020” report published by the Federal Election Commission. https://www.fec.gov/resources/cms-content/documents/federalelections2020.pdf Den041224 (talk) 12:42, 4 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

That's the national result, not the Iowa one which the existing table is referring to. (Could someone please respond to my above edit request which resolves that issue?) 24.19.234.175 (talk) 15:39, 4 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

"Result within margin of error" column in polls table?

[edit]

As Selzer's reputation has been gained by her unusual accuracy, I'm wondering if it would be worth including a column for whether the actual result of each election fell within the poll's margin of error? For example, Selzer's 2018 IA Governor poll was notably a rare miss as the result fell outside the +/-3.5% margin of error, and I think it's notable to show that this is the only "miss" Selzer has had since 2008. BuggyBuggerson (talk) 14:47, 5 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

I don't think it's worth it mostly because the actual calculation is pretty abstruse ("result within the margin of error" isn't "within the margin of error listed for the specific survey" but rather margin_actual < 1.96*sqrt(((p1+p2)-(p1-p2)^2)/n-1) for any given survey, which to me isn't a "routine calculation" under WP:CALC) and they aren't measuring the same populations anyway. I think the "error" column does speak for itself here as it is :) 24.19.234.175 (talk) 19:08, 5 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

The DMR article currently cited is incorrect – Kerry led in the 2004 poll by a 48% to 45% margin, not a 48% to 43% margin as has been contemporaneously reported in some sources! 24.19.234.175 (talk) 19:49, 5 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
