Unless they've overcorrected their weighting to account for the shy Trump voters of 2016 and 2020. Very real possibility.
The issue isn't shy Trump voters anymore.
It's that after 8+ years of political realignment Trump/GOP voters now skew both more low propensity and working class.
As lower propensity voters they are less likely to pass "likely voter" screens, and working class voters are harder to reach/less likely to talk to pollsters.
Also, if we're being honest, most of the media/university polls survey who they survey and weight their polls the way they do to skew Democratic ON PURPOSE.
They almost always overstate Democratic support, usually outside their own margins of error, compared to actual election results, and the mainstream media/polling industry just keeps pretending that their polls are accurate reflections of reality anyway.
