Pollsters have been investigating why surveys conducted ahead of the 2020 presidential election systematically underestimated support for Donald Trump. New research provides some hints of the contours of the problem but offers few immediate fixes.

For the past six months, pollsters have investigated why surveys conducted ahead of the 2020 presidential election systematically underestimated support for Donald Trump. National polls in that election, despite generally pointing to the winner, saw the highest level of error since 1980, according to preliminary research presented Wednesday at a polling industry conference. At the state level, presidential polls understated Trump's support by about 3.

The research -- presented to those attending the conference of the American Association for Public Opinion Research -- provides some hints of the contours of the problem, which likely involves pollsters' difficulty in reaching certain segments of Trump's supporters. Still, it offers few immediate fixes.One of the most likely culprits, the research suggests, is a failure to fully account for some form of differential nonresponse bias.

Reminder: Joe Biden beat Donald in the 2020 election by over 7 million votes.

Because of the circular logic of saying polls are wrong to justify the fantasy of election results being wrong by not participating in polls?
