Republican and independent voters are twice as likely to not reveal their true preference for president in a telephone poll, a study found.
CloudResearch, an online market research and data collection company, found that 11.7% of Republicans and 10.5% of independents said they wouldn't share their true opinion, while only 5.4% of Democrats said the same.
"That raises the possibility that polls understate support for President Donald Trump," Bloomberg reported Friday.

If true, and not accounted for by over/under sampling as needed (you should oversample Republicans and independents to bring things back into focus if you believe this), it's a clear and quantitative estimate of how biased the published polls are.
I think the term “Shy” should be replaced with “Fear for their lives.” Why would anyone answer a poll in a way that doesn’t favor democrats? The polling company has your telephone number, from that they can get your name and address that they pass along to leftist-lynch-mobs.
They just can't figure out why polls aren't accurate. When asked whom they support by pollsters, or those claiming to be pollsters, Republicans are believed to hide their support for President Trump, largely because they don't want people to "be verbally abused, socially shunned, fired from their jobs, lose their businesses, be publically acosted (including their children), and physically assaulted.
It's all part of their cynical plan. The Atlantic had an article reminding their leftists that their plan is in motion and has a history of working in overturning countries.

Oh we are not shy, I can only speak for myself but I would NEVER tell a pollster who Im voting for, especially since Im in LA, yeah I want to keep my head thank you..and that is why I WILL be voting in person..I dont need these commies loons in this city knowing Im voting for Trump
Shy? Never tell a polltaker the time of day. you have no idea who is asking you questions or for what purpose! Almost as bad as responding with your SS number and bank account/credit card data!!!
Same for yard signs. I’m in Richmond, VA area. Signs everywhere for Commie Abigail Spermburger. Very few for Nick Frietas the conservative. And a lot of these homes have had conservative yard signs in the past.
Some Trump supporters don’t answer any phone calls from numbers not recognized. the silent majority.
Ask for a friend because this will be the plan.
Probably closer to 80%.
The Republican Base knows they are being targeted.
The GOP-e is still trying learn how to use Google Search
We are not shy. Just don’t want the fake news to know! :)
I’m not shy. But I treat pollsters like any other telemarketer, and don’t even pick up the phone!!!!
No doubt. I would never tell a pollster who I was voting for.
Think how strong this impulse must be for Blacks in particular.
Which only means that Team Trump must continue their campaign as if they were 10 points behind.
But judging from the amount of vote fraud the nation can look forward to in November, that may be only just enough. Or not.
Herself has already enjoined Slow Joe not to concede, no matter how much the vote favors Team Trump.
Polls will never be correct ever again because of cell phones.
as long as Joe’s numbers stay below 50 in a fairly done poll of likely voters, Trump will most likely win.
I was just using the common term: Shy Trump Voter. Obviously, none of us are shy.
For months the pollsters have been oversampling Democrats and so Biden has been miles ahead of Trump. That’s crumbling now as silent Trump voters are starting to make the Earth tremble.
Pollsters are admitting they have no way of measuring the extent of the silent Trump majority. With the climate of violence silencing his supporters except when they vote, the only hope for Democrat victory will be massive vote fraud, which may only guarantee civil war.
Shy isn’t the word. I know people that won’t advertise their conservatism because it’ll affect their business, cause liberal neighbors to enact red flag laws and tattle on them for guns, get their tires slashed...on and on. I can’t blame them. Vote and do not let any amount of intimidation stop you from that.
