No one knows exactly, but since the lib media screeches REPUBLICANS BAAAAD, TRUMPERS BAAAAD, MAGA REPUBLICANS = LITERAL TERRORISTS, the result is that a significant fraction of right wingers are more likely to hang up when they get called by pollsters.

Yep Baris called this the Shy Trumper effect.

Trump outperformed the polls vastly in nearly every state because the Dems made it not socially acceptable to announce you support him.
