They suggested Mr Duda had taken the run-off vote by 53% to 47%.
Mr Duda had edged Mr Komorowski, who had been the favourite, in the first round but did not gain the 50% needed to win outright. The president has limited powers, but is head of the armed forces and can veto new laws. The exit polls had been delayed after a woman died at a polling station on Sunday.
Official results are expected later on Monday.
“I respect your choice”, Mr Komorowski told voters at a gathering of his supporters. “I wish my challenger a successful presidency.”
The victory will be a wake-up call to Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz, an ally of Mr Komorowski, ahead of parliamentary elections this autumn.
Speaking to supporters in Warsaw, Mr Duda said: “Thank you President Bronislaw Komorowski for the rivalry of this presidential campaign and for your congratulations.
“Those who voted for me voted for change. Together we can change Poland”.
