With the post election analysis going on right now, there seems to be a ton of weight being put behind exit polling (so and so got x% of women voters, etc) to the point where they just are presented as fact. As early voting and mail-in voting increases around the country, aren’t those exit polls getting more and more unreliable? I don’t see that discussion happening anywhere and perhaps I have a misunderstanding of what an exit poll even is. I’ve never been polled in any way after voting myself and as I understand it polling is already not as reliable as they’re presented. So should we put as much trust into these exit polls?

    The polls were historically accurate this election. Most swingstates were predicted within 2% margin.
