Virginia Primary - Polls Off by 21 Points

Jay Kuo quoted Professor Justin Wolfers about the Virginia primary:

In Virginia, according to the 538 polling averages, Trump was supposed to beat Haley by 49 points.  Instead he won by a little over 28 points. That’s a huge polling miss of 21 points.

 

Here's Wolfers' post on Twitter (X):

 

By my count Trump's actual margin in the primaries has underperformed that predicted by the polls by: 
0-5%: AL, IA, TX
6-10%: CA, ME, NH, SC
10-15%: MA, MI, OK, TN, UT
16-20%: - 
20% or more: MN, VA, VT (an astonishing 34%)

...and he outperformed pre-primary polling only in NC.
