You make it sound as if pollsters have some monopoly on truth. That's quite an act of faith to believe questioning a few thousand people will always accurately reflect the behavior of 110 million.
Polls are only as good as the depth and diversity of their sampling methods, the questions they ask, and whether people tell the truth. As for pollsters being partisan.... many are funded directly by the parties... and you may recall that MoveOn certainly thought Gallop was too partisan.
I bet the more conscientious pollsters are trying to figure out where they went wrong. Perhaps you should protest that effort.
