There has got to be a better way of figuring out what folks are thinking at any one time in our society. Wouldn't you agree?

Not really. I think the only problem with the polls is sample size and distribution. Several 'major' polls this year have turned out to have sampled a disproportionate number of republicans or democrats. Most polls take 1000 people which would be good except that the manner in which they are conducted may well lead to biases.
