Donald Trump on Sunday lashed out against a retired political pollster, calling for an investigation into her over what he called a “totally fake poll.”

Trump over the weekend took to his own social media network, Truth Social, to share an article entitled, “Pollster Ann Selzer ending election polling, moving ‘to other ventures and opportunities.'”

“Public opinion polling has been my life’s work. I collected my first research data as a freshman in college, if you don’t count a neighborhood poll I did at age 5. I’ve always been fascinated with what a person could learn from a scientific sample of a meaningful universe,” Selzer wrote in the guest column for the Des Moines Register. “Beyond election polls, my favorite projects were helping clients learn something they did not know to help them evaluate options for their companies, institutions or causes. That work may well continue, but I knew a few years ago that the election polling part of my career was headed to a close.”

In his post, Trump criticized one of Selzer’s election polls that received media attention for predicting Vice President Kamala Harris could beat him in Iowa, which is a red state.

“A totally Fake poll that caused great distrust and uncertainty at a very critical time,” Trump wrote. “She knew exactly what she was doing.”

Trump continued:

“Thank you to the GREAT PEOPLE OF IOWA for giving me such a record breaking vote, despite possible ELECTION FRAUD by Ann Selzer and the now discredited ‘newspaper’ for which she works.”

The former and incoming president added, “An investigation is fully called for!”
