It's not just that people don't trust the media, it's also about when the polls are taken, the way the questions are worded, and the tendency for people to respond with the "approved" answer -- theone they think the poller wants to hear
Not only that, it is where and when polls are taken. If you poll major Urban areas (Dim Party strong holds) you are going to get one result, if you ask in a Red State, you get a different response. But the way you phrase a question is also vital. Suppose you ask THIS question
With Gasoline at over $2.00 a gallon in most places, do you think President Bush and the Republicans are doing a ----- job on the economy?
The problem the Hysteric Left, and it's mouthpieces in the Dinosaur Media, have is they create these biased polls, conduct them to get the result they desire, then broadcast the results as if they are reality rather then what they WANT reality to be. Funny, you would think that after reality smacked them so hard in the face the last 3 elections, they would come to realize the "news media" polls are irrelevant as a measurement of reality.

The MSM is supposed to REPORT the news, not MAKE it.
The SCOTUS is supposed to rule on the CONSTITUTIONALITY of laws, not LEGISLATE.
