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.

Now that you have better understanding of where someone's coming from, and specifically the logic that they're applying, you might feel more comfortable about negotiations due to take place soon. True, you could be on collision course with someone born under one of the Cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra or Capricorn who appears not to have thought things through. For now though, you might be slightly more preoccupied with romance, and specifically, in contact with someone who lives some distance away..

It might feel to you as though you're being pulled in different directions. Someone who lives locally may be vying for attention with someone some distance away. A power struggle could be taking place between them. On a much nicer note, your bargaining skills could be to the fore. Indeed, you could strike an unusually good deal and find exactly the right item to be worn at a special event in a couple of weeks' time. Surfing the Internet might be involved.

AND I might add..."the third consecutive Gallup Poll Daily tracking report in which he has held a statistically significant lead, and Obama's largest lead of the year so far."--the highest clinton EVER went on the Gallup poll is 49%, so where they got 50% is beyond me...the smoking crack argument makes more and more sense ;)

Adding to the chorus -

those numbers are reversed. Gallup's site clearly states that Obama has the 50%.

Thanks, ffa. I almost had a stroke. That didn't make any sense at ALL. Not from Gallup.
