“this poll on the internals looked fairly legit”

Sampling is always problematic. There are some people whom pollsters are reluctant to approach. Some people select themselves as respondents. Many who always turn out to vote will not participate in polls.

I don’t trust any poll, ever, right up until the last vote is counted (and frequently, if it is a vote for a demonrat, counted twice).

Legitimate polls are done randomly by phone so the first two wouldn't apply. The third point is legitimate since I will not participate in a poll. I agree that polling doesn't always end up correct, but they are usually within margins of error which can be quite wide.
