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.

Field Research Poll (California Primary)
October 26, 1947
If you are planning to move home or to change your career path, you're marching in tandem with your horoscope, though given the volatility of this week's planetary picture, skip seven days and investigate further. There's a streak of misinformation in the mix. As much may apply to matters of the heart - though for singles there are new faces aplenty.
Field Research Poll (California Primary)
August 4, 1961
En garde! When a raft of planets is in opposition, including a solar eclipse, there's sparring to be done, if only of the verbal kind. Stay fluid: what others promise is unlikely to be what's delivered. While you can't be passive, the fewer commitments you make until 18 Feb, the better. Though trusted allies and friends are a different matter.
Field Research Poll (California Primary)
August 24, 1955
However tedious your work - and a major project is the preferred mode this year - if you are not stuck into it, you're missing a trick. That said, it's a week to watch, listen and learn, as your Mercury ruler changes from morning to evening star. Personal pursuits that speak from and to your heart remain promisingly starred, not least at the weekend.

Field Research Poll (California Primary)
March 12, 1947
Not an ideal week for a binding agreement, though your stars otherwise spell opportunity. The part of your career that depends on meeting the right people is where you find advantage; play by the rules and impress your diligence upon powerbrokers. Put your wild child within on hold until the weekend, when a Pisces Moon arrives.
