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.

There are times when your health HAS to come first. Ignoring what others are saying might not be the best course of action. They could have your welfare at heart. True, you might need to wait for the result of tests. It could be after the weekend before you really know where you stand. In the interim, renewed acquaintance with someone who was once a very close friend could lead to their greater understanding of your position. Though it might appear that they cannot help you now, it is possible that this will make a difference next week.

The financial impact of recent events might not be felt fully until after the weekend. It's possible that things are not quite as bad as they might first appear. Thanks to the efforts of a close associate, a way out of some difficulties could be found. The passionate side of your being could be aroused by someone who appears to be hiding behind their professionalism. What you might need to know is what they really think and feel.

(Texas)
It could be a couple of days yet before the full effects of yesterdays lunar eclipse in your sign is felt. For the moment, you could be blinded by the fact that a relationship has reached an acute turning point - and need to resolve this as a priority. Property matters could be raised again too. A valuation may not be quite as you would have hoped. It's possible also that your relationship with someone born under either Cancer or Libra needs to be put on a new filtering.
