Media more trustworthy than Trump, poll finds

These were the same folks (along with most of the others who were polling) confidently predicting Trump's defeat last November. Just a reminder of their totally inaccurate results are linked here.
Now, all of a sudden their modeling is correct and we're supposed to believe this anti-Trump poll?

Not one of these polls in the link was exactly correct Moe. Quinnipiac's were among the worst.

None of the polls really got the election right as far as projections along the way. Even Rasmussen had Clinton with a lead early on.
If I would say what I thought the pulse of people I talk with would be I think it would be 50/50%. Many see the media at fault and many see Trump at fault as well. Very unscientific, huge margin of error, but that's the feel I get from my friend who are about 65% Reps and 35% Dems.
The pollsters were pretty damn good in 2016. The prognostications on electoral votes were awful.
Correct WVex-pat in GA, so why are we suddenly touting their prowess now just because a few of them show Trump disliked among a certain polled sector?
They're all worthless as far as I'm concerned because none of them is unbiased in either their methodology or sampling. Thus the "margins of error".
