Romney barely lost Florida, Virginia, and Ohio. All those states were close enough so that they could have gone either way. Sure the polls are pretty accurate, but they can often be off by a couple of percentage points. I'm not saying that Obama wasn't a solid favorite going into Tuesday. He was a solid favorite but his leads were very small in those 3 states and also in Colorado.
On a different subject, even though it didn't make the difference in this election, the winner take all rule of the Electoral college is absurd. For example, if Romney gets 10 million votes in Florida and Obama get 9.9 million votes there, why should Romney sweep all the electoral votes in that state? It is absurd.
