I don’t think you can find proof of what you’re asking for, it’s like proving a negative. You’d first have to prove that they were going to vote, yet then chose to stay home. I’ve never seen a poll that does that.
Of the more than 120 million votes cast in the 2016 election, 107,000 votes in three states effectively decided the election.
So it wouldn’t take a lot for us to guess that a bunch of people stayed home and didn’t vote because of the suggested reason, or maybe they just didn’t like HRC in the way some republicans don’t like trump - they aren’t going to vote opposition, but they’ll sit on their hands.

I’ll offer this, though: How Trump won the presidency with razor-thin margins in swing states

I guess that’s my point.
There’s just this common trope that people should “ignore polls” but I’ve never seen evidence that poll-comfortability is a real problem.
Things like access to voting stations, harassment near voting stations, purging of voter lists, now those, those are real problems.
