Check Out Polls, Candidates' Horoscopes, Betting Lines And Surrounding Weather For February 2
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.

 SCORPIOOctober 26, 1947 It would be wise to check small print. Though a shopping trip could go better than planned, faults in items might not be noticeable until the beginning of next week ( though at that point, you could get some money off). An extraordinary gesture made by someone who truly cares about you could render you speechless. It might also prompt you to think about finding a gift for them. |

 LEOAugust 4, 1961 You could embark on what turns out to be a wild goose chase. It might be useful to check plans before leaving home. At the most negative level, you may find that someone has been economical with the truth - though hopefully, they'll have been trying to disguise a pleasant surprise. Issues of integrity could surface however. |

 VIRGOAugust 24, 1955 Mars might now be moving forward at the top of your solar chart, but your ruling planet is now retrograde. So it could be that work you want to do at home doesn't run quite as smoothly as you would like. You may find that items don't fit, or that air ducts and water pipes require more attention than you'd though. A sense of humour may well be needed! You might also benefit from slowing down someone born under one of the Fire signs, whose enthusiasm and hasty actions could lead them into difficulties. |

 PISCESMarch 12, 1947 A marketing concept could capture your imagination. Considerable care might be needed if shopping then! This is perhaps not the time to flex your credit card, - unless you know you can afford it. News from someone born under Sagittarius and been known to enthuse you in the past, could set you off on a new track. This could lead to you browsing brochures before the weekend is through. |
