Polls in 2016 were inaccurate (or corrupt) and they will learn 2020 will be much more extreme.
ANTIFA/BLM is rampaging through the streets. Media, universities, and many corporations are all full-court-press on shrill, “woke” politics, and in many cases, they will seek to punish people who expose their politics. In such an environment, few average Americans would expose their true political feelings to strangers.
Therefore, they lie to or ignore, pollsters. For me, when pollsters call, I purposely lie to them - not out of fear, but to screw with their results.
“when pollsters call, I purposely lie to them”
There is a lot of that going on for sure. Do you get caller ID that indicates pollsters, or do you just answer the phone and there is one on the other end? If the latter, what does the caller ID say? I do not answer the phone unless I know who it is and I want to talk to them. But I might be tempted to if I know I could help screw up the pollsters numbers.
