New And Improved HuffPollstrology: Candidates' Horoscopes, Polls And More For February 13
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.

 LEOAugust 4, 1961 A conflict of interests arises between what your partner wants and what your friends would like to do and this could lead to minor disagreements. Maybe it falls on your shoulders to look for a regular social event which everyone will enjoy and even when you think you've found something someone still manages to throw a spanner in the works. In this case it might be better to put off until tomorrow what won't go right today and it might also be better to spend the time with your partner and catch up with friends another time. |

 VIRGOAugust 24, 1955 A work colleague could cause you some concern today. Either important paperwork temporarily goes missing or the times of a meeting have been relayed incorrectly. As it turns out it's not the end of the world but for someone who is generally so well organised this makes you feel very anxious. Unfortunately it also puts your timings out for the rest of the day leading to a late finish and missing either all or part of a social event you were looking forward to. Maybe a nice hot relaxing bath will soothe you. |
