Check Out Polls, Candidates' Horoscopes, Betting Lines And Surrounding Weather For February 1
Polls have come to dominate the media's horse race coverage of political campaigns. Pundits and reporters constantly use them to tell us who's hot and who's not -- but skip over the fact that plummeting response rates and variables like undecided voters and margins of error and often render these polls useless as anything other than lightweight diversions on par with horoscopes and political betting lines. Our HuffPollstrology chart helps keep you up to date on the latest poll results, along with the latest horoscope predictions, and the latest online political betting lines - and will hopefully help the polling junkies in the media keep polls in the proper perspective.

 VIRGOAugust 24, 1955 Venus and Jupiter align in Capricorn for the first time in over a decade. Coinciding with Pluto's recent entry into that sign, this is BIG news. This alignment takes place in the creative or heart centre of your solar chart. If you're old enough to have children, then romantic events in their lives could affect you. Your own love-life could experience an exciting twist too. And at a different level you may find that a talent has been recognised - and could even become a second revenue stream. |

 PISCESMarch 12, 1947 You could be given 'top table' treatment. Something about you could give others the impression that you need to be looked after better. It may be that they see you as a 'lucky charm' too! A shopping trip could turn into something of an extravaganza. And then, quite separately, there's the prospect of celebrating a relative's success. |
