There is a huge difference between push polls (Karl Rove was an expert with those) and statistically sampled public opinion polls, with the questions validated for bias in advance, and accounted for in the results.
When you have experience with using valid public opinions polls created by professionals....and see the value....get back to me.
The only point I would concede is that with most of the media polls, they only share the numbers and not the pages of analysis that accompany those numbers and address the biases in both questions and respondents.
