The most educated also tend to cluster around areas where a Trump vote would have been a waste.

I wonder if the higher educated are also more prone to the "shy tory" effect.

The education correlation is also supported actual voting results, by seeing how voting results correlated with education levels in each voting region.

So it doesn't seem to be just an artifact of polling behavior.

And turnout numbers for Democrats was lower than usual, so you are correct.
