There are well-known cases where exit polls get the margins wrong
(e.g. Phillipines 2004) or even the results wrong (e.g. USA 2004).  It
is extremely hard to correct for sampling error in exit polling,
making the overall polling accuracy comparable to certain alternatives
such as phone polls.  For electoral results, both of those are
significantly more accurate than, for example, random polling in other
public places.
