Polls taken a month before the vote are not that accurate because people can change their minds between now and then. But polls taken a day or two before the vote are very accurate, usually not more than 1-2%, because not that many people change their minds in the last day or two.

And lastly, exit polls have less than 0.1% error since you are not asking people who they are going to vote for, but who they already voted for. Exit polling data is what was used to prove the Ukraine election was fraudulent. If that same logic had been applied to our election in 2004, you would be complaining about President Kerry the last couple of years.
