These pollsters are very dangerous, and have too much power. How can we as Americans build a grassroots movement to stop these pollsters from destroying our democracy!?

Hah... as if that's going to happen. A recent respected, much quoted NBC-WSJ poll's sample was 22% self-identified liberals and 37% self identified conservatives with the rest moderates or "don't know". Nearly 2-1 conservative is a correct sampling of the American voter? Could be... what do I nkow?
