@Coctaanatis The Shy Tory Factor, or a similar phenomenon of voters not fully disclosing their preferences to pollsters, has been observed in various US elections. Here are a few examples: 1. **1982 California gubernatorial election**: In this election, Republican George Deukmejian defeated Tom Bradley, the Democratic candidate. Polls leading up to the election showed Bradley with a substantial lead, but some suggest that the Shy Tory Factor may have played a role in underestimating support for Deukmejian. 2. **2016 US presidential election**: Some analysts have suggested that the Shy Tory Factor could have influenced the polling inaccuracies in the 2016 election, where Donald Trump unexpectedly won against Hillary Clinton. There were concerns that some Trump supporters may not have been forthcoming with their support during polling, leading to underestimated support for Trump. 3. **2020 US presidential election**: Leading up to the 2020 election, there were discussions about the potential impact of the Shy Tory Factor on polling accuracy, particularly regarding support for then-President Donald Trump. While the exact extent of this phenomenon is debated, some argue that it may have contributed to inaccuracies in polling data. These are just a few examples, and the presence and impact of the Shy Tory Factor can vary from election to election. It is important for pollsters and analysts to consider this potential factor when interpreting polling results and predicting election outcomes.
