Because polls exist to try and get a representative sample, and they bank their whole reputation on it.

Just because you’ve never been polled doesn’t mean they don’t exist or work.

The first part of what you said I understand. The second part is just an example of one perspective to take on the legitimacy of polls. Besides that I still wouldn't ever trust one with all the propaganda going around and hope that others don't either.
