Be Wary of Exit Polls II

Geraghty:

Are the Exit Pollsters Up To Old Tricks?

I noticed this account of an exit pollster in Stafford, Virginia:

08:32 – AP doing exit polling in Stafford. Talking 4 to 1 to minorities over whites at a Republican precinct (Falmouth). Expect it to be skewed. Don’t trust the exit polls as they start to trickle out.

Only an anecdote, but not promising. Are the exit pollsters aiming for egg on their faces two presidential races in a row?
P.S. Dan Curry with some perspective.
