Why is it that nobody believes the polls when their guy is behind but they suddenly become trustworthy when he’s ahead?

Because of the internals of the poll and the track record.

I do not think Trafalgar is completely accurate. They have a good record from 2016 but, they were under estimating the crossover vote for Trump this time. He is, I think further a head than they think he is.

The 2016 Trafalgar poll electoral college final call was only off by TWO votes. Find me another poll that came anywhere near that.

Its about track record.
Why would anyone believe CNN NBC ABC WAPO NYT polls when they got it wrong by huge margins in 2016?
I don’t. And neither does the Trump campaign.

It's Trafalgar.

They have a comparatively high reputation contrasted with the others (eg. ABC/Washington Post poll or the notoriously anti-Trump FoxNews poll.) Another rather fair poll is Rssmussen.
