How many people are motivated enough to delve into exits to extrapolate a winner but unmotivated enough to be kept from voting because it looked like Clinton was going to win by 3%?  If anything the general feeling that Clinton was going to win due to pre-election polls might have kept some soft Clinton supporters away. Obviously a lot of Americans had a negative view of both Clinton and Trump, but in the end Clinton won that group overwhelmingly, and that was the difference. Perhaps a lot of those who didn't like either but were slightly more inclined for Clinton decided not to vote because they thought she was going to win so they didn't have to 'hold their nose' and vote.
