GRE Retake or nah? (already have a masters)

I am applying for a PhD in Political Science. I already have a MA in Politics and am currently working on a Masters in Public Administration (top program). My grad GPA is 3.8 across both institutions.

The issue is, my GRE scores aren't stellar. Most programs I am interested in do not post GRE requirements, but I get the sense that they're looking for candidates with V/Q scores around 160. I doubt retaking would improve my scores (I am not a great test taker) and I feel that my post-undergrad education is a better indicator of my academic ability than GRE scores.

Here are my scores (now 3 years old):

V 158 (79%)

Q 159 (75%)

W 4.5 (80%)

Looking for a second opinion, thanks.
