Yes

If so, where in the exit polls can the huge increase in these percentage numbers be explained?
It cannot be explained."

I'm sorry TIA, but you are incorrect. "Demographics data" is data OBSERVED, and not the data obtained by the exit poll forms themsevles. This is why it is the first to be tabulated...because you do not need to enter the data from the exit poll forms (the questionaires), which takes a lot more time to do. So it includes gender, approximate age, and race. It does not include ANY data about how people voted, why they voted, or what party they belong to. THAT is what the MOE in those early polls that you like is tied to.
