Here is your problem...it is THE METHODOLOGY STUPID and I hope Gallup finally gets it.
I knew, from all data, that at the NATIONAL level it was a horse race and it got tight...every national election that happens....TRENDS. It was at the STATE level where it wasn't close, except in NC, where I will remind you, Romney actually won.
I even said here, the night before, that all data pointed to an O victory, but do not count chickens...I expected more of a nightmare due to shenanigans. I am happy that did not happen.
I had access to the same info you did. And you know what? People have to get a tad more sophisticated on even how to watch news...and how to read polls.
Oh and bias is as old as the United States.
As to FOX, yes, they are a propaganda channel...and. We need media reform, but not the way you think. (Sherman antitrust). But not just the media, and that is a whole different discussion, nor do I expect either party to go there.
