used them to project winners in US elections. They got so good at it, they could project winners before the polls even closed. The UN and other agencies that monitored elections used them to tell if election fraud was occurring. Then suddenly in 2000 and in 2004 we were told exit polls no longer could be trusted.

Also, nice job conflating two different kinds of polls. Exit polls sample actual voters. The kind Bernie outperformed sampled likely voters.
