What I heard was that they don't try to.
Apparently their approach is different from the UK. Here they try to predict a result taking factors like that into account. There the focus is on reporting clean numbers, allowing people to overlay their own assumptions, should they wish to.

LOL, that is the complete opposite of what I've read about the polling in the US, including from the pollsters themselves. They have absolutely under-reported Trump in previous years and they pretty much all admit that. I think they're over-compensating this time to 'regain some lost credibility'.

They absolutely do, or try to. The pollsters have been working on their methodologies massively in recent years since fucking up so badly with him before. Problem is, we don't know, and they don't know, if they've over- or under-corrected.
