This sums it up. The Dunning-Kruger effect in action.
You don't trust polls. Instead, you choose to rely on what you've heard from people in your vicinity, which is actually just an unscientifically sampled poll with a small, sample size and no rigorous quantitative analysis.
This is why it's hard to take your opinions seriously sometimes.
