I wonder if this helps explains why polling has been getting worse than usual since 2016. (In relation to presidential polling (midterm polling has been historically accurate).

    I wonder how many of these were people who voted for Trump in 2016 and now feel shame/embarrassment after seeing the entailing colossal clusterfuck they were partially responsible for.

      That’s likely a really low percentage unfortunately.

      I think the estimates are only 2-4% of Trump 2016 voters voted Biden 2020.

      But there definitely is something to the “shy Trump voter” theory.
