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.

See the bottom of the entry for polling methodology.

Remember: we are now in that period between eclipses. It should be possible for you to draw aside a veil and understand exactly the 'bigger picture' that someone's been holding for ages. Your own creative talents could surface too - or, if not, allow you to make excellent judgment about someone with considerable talent. You might also decide to foster someone much younger: providing a treat that becomes something special in their memory bank later.

We are now in that special period between eclipses. This time, you could peek behind the veil of illusion and discover a simple truth: that you're very special. In this frame of mind, it would be understandable if you felt the need for a treat. Shopping could be a pleasure and not a chore - especially since you could attract an item that enhances your feel good factor. Someone from another generation might wonder what's got into you!

Ok, you might well be fascinated by what's going on in the minds of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio or Aquarius friends. This could be more than just about finding the perfect gift for someone born under the latter sign. It may be that you're discovering the happy knack of influencing people. In this, you may be inspired by a Capricorn friend who's recently gone to a great deal of trouble to get a design 'just right'.

Remember that Hillary is a Libra Scorpio, not a pure November Scorpio. She's going to have to really push it to get into the White House. If she wins, it will be by a true fluke . . . someone really tweaked the machines & super delegates!

Obama is just a few days off of Bill's birthday by 10 days. Therefore, we should get used to saying, President Obama!!!
