I think mail-in ballots are a much bigger problem for exit polling than fear of being cancelled.

I cite no sources, just a hunch.

They are actually both problems. The fear of being "cancelled" due to poll responses is called the Bradley Effect and definitely does apply to exit polls: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradley_effect#Exit_polling
