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.

Intellectual mayhem might turn you on, but it's likely that physical mess does the opposite. You could feel almost paralyzed if you're at the center of chaos - particularly if this takes the form of building work. This could put you in scratchy humor with even the closest of friends. One answer may be to get out and about, and come back to tasks when you feel less frazzled. It's possible that this suggestion will come from an Aquarius friend anyway.

With friends apparently be all over the place and completely uncoordinated as to what they ought be doing, you could find yourself in the driving seat. That could be literal. It could fall to you to make travel arrangements - and possibly to ferry a group of people around. The realization that two friends are no longer as close as they have been, could be difficult for a group of people to deal with. You could deflect the focus of attention on them and receive compliments from friends born under Gemini and Libra who hadn't quite realized that you were capable of such tact.
