Exit polls are nearly always right on account of they only count actual voters just after they've voted. Prof. Curtice is no great Mystic Meg.
Being a Tory is embarrassing , always has been for anyone with a shred of decency . Its also likely a lot of the Tories are locked away in their secure accommodation, or too busy posting prattle on forums
Personally I always opt out of marketing/phone calls/door knockers/surveys, and don't respond (nicely) to people shoving their clipboard in my face in the street. So that's another demographic they miss out on. Pollsters are now irrelevant esp. after the US election, they are just trying to justify their continued existence.
