Why are the media giving so much credence to the national polls?

We're not having a national primary.

I have a problem with polls in general, especially at this early stage. They've gone from helping to inform the larger conversation to BEING the larger conversation, mostly due to the laziness of the political press, who don't want to go through the bother of learning and reporting on issues and policies so they obsess over the polling data.

But if we're going to obsess over polls, shouldn't we be talking a out polls that actually tell us something about the race rather. National polls tell us nothing at this stage since there is no national primary. It seems like a waste of time to constantly talk about them.
