I wonder if the type of people who are hiding out from the virus at home, a little lonely and fearful, would be more likely to answer polls.
That would seem to be single older people who are Democrats, I’d say.
But I guess the pollsters keep calling until they get more Republicans to answer—and maybe they are single, older and lonely and fearful too, and turning away from Trump because of their fear.
Trump has now shown there is less need to be fearful—will be great when all 25 White House infections resolve quickly (hopefully)—will be anectodal evidence that the virus is not be be so feared.
Good pollsters don’t just poll based on D. vs. R. They drill down to try to get the right representation so that the results will be more accurate.

“It’s not rural vs. burbs vs. urban, and not about party ID. It’s about adequate samples for subgroups re: region/geography and education.”
