If past experience is an indication, exit polls can go horribly wrong. The agencies, which use their own methodology, amusingly claim accuracy but hide their fallibility under the cover of “margin of error” when things go wrong. Given the various agencies and pollsters drawing their inferences, waiting for the final result seems prudent (“Exit polls hint at anti-incumbency in T.N., Kerala”, May 17).
