I'd be interested to know what, if any, modifications either the pollsters themselves or 538 made to their methodologies following 2016 (or just in the context of the shy Trump voter), but I haven't seen anyone state such changes. Maybe none were needed, and 2016 was just that black swan event that happens every once in awhile.
