but the exit polls in each individual state aren't representative, they are attuned to give be representative for the nation wide popular vote, which is much easier to achieve (and they did achieve that) than to try to have them predict each individual state

ofcourse you could demand that they at least try to design representative exit polls for some key swing states, but in reality you need decades of experience to design them correctly and in that time different states turn out to be the "key swing states"

What are you talking about. They have polls for each state.

During the election you constantly heard how many points someone was up or down in each individual state. 

I'm talking about exit polls (a poll taken directly after the vote), not about the vote count or political polls during the campaign

because that's what barneystinson falsely attacked in his first post in this thread "Based on exit polling. Right... The same exit polling that was horribly off in the us elections, and said that brexit was a lost cause? "
