New And Improved HuffPollstrology: Candidates' Horoscopes, Polls And More
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 Doing someone a favour can be so much your style. What you hear on the grapevine today could alert you to a need you didn't know existed.

 LEOAugust 4, 1961 It might suit you to show others just how kind and compassionate you can be. Involvement in a charity project is one possibility. At a slightly different level, you might like to show someone how interested you are in the Arts and how willing you are to foster other people's talents. Whatever your motivation, these actions could bring interesting responses, - especially from those born under one of the Air signs of Gemini, Libra or Aquarius. |

 VIRGOAugust 24, 1955 The design and sizes of items used daily might require careful scrutiny. In improving either a kitchen or bathroom area, you could hit some snags.

 PISCESMarch 12, 1947 A company or group of people on whom you are dependent for goodwill if not for actual finance, might not be in a position to give you the unequivocal support that you need. Finding someone to speak on your behalf could be deemed imperative. A large part of the problem could be that facts only speak half the truth. Finding someone who can convey the other half - and swing a vote in your favour - may not be at all easy. |
