Post-16, it did not seem like there was much winners bias toward Trump. Many pollsters, especially with poor data collection, started using it for weighting. It's a great crutch: you can weight a poll of NYC to be plausibly accurate for the US if you weight it by US past vote — PolitiTweet.org

One well known bias is a winners bias: people tend to be less likely to report voting for the loser. If that's true today, then these polls might actually be biased against Biden! — PolitiTweet.org

Pollsters with better data collection tend not to use recalled vote choice, in favor of more stable measures of partisanship, as it's a potentially biased and unstable paramter — PolitiTweet.org
