Too many Hispanics were listed  as voting for Bush.
Kerry now wins them 58-40 instead of 53-44 nationwide, and by 2 points instead of losing by
18 points in Texas.

Mitofsky's exit polls in 2000 polls cause the networks to call Florida for Gore before the polls had even closed.

Mitofsky's exit polls in 2002 polls said Erskine Bowles would beat Liddy Dole in the NC Senate race and that Kirk/Cornyn in Texas Senate was too close to call.

Mitofsky's exit polls in 2004 polls said Arizona and South Carolina were too close to call and that Bush was tied in Oregon and 9% up in New Hampshire.

I am going to go out on a limb here and suggest that his exit polls may have a few problems that need to be addressed.
