Huffpollstrology: Candidates' Horoscopes, Polls And More For April 29
Polls have come to dominate the media's horse race coverage of political campaigns.

Try to enjoy the challenge. (Daily Mail). |

You'll be zapping around at top speed, but try as well to be more reflective. Luckily your enthusiasm will sweep others along with you. (Daily Mail). |
