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.

Like a mobile phone whose battery doesn't always charge as well as it might, there may be many moments today when you need others to offer you energy. A spiritual awakening of some kind is possible. In fact, inspired by something that you read or hear, you could make a commitment to assist people you've never met. The desire to play the 'magician who's never unmasked' may be strong. As a result, you could make a few people very happy.

A chord could be playing on your heartstrings - or Cupid could be simply having a whale of a time. True, this might all be in your imagination. It might even come through inspiration from a film. The point in all this is that it's likely you'll be reluctant to face normal routine chores. The arrival of someone who is so completely obsessed with a project might cause you to wince. There may be elements of this person that remind you of yourself though.

It is possible that you could be overwhelmed by just how much there is to do. You might also be dealing with a contact made some years ago and who is now a considerable distance. An element of confusion about what they want and expect could creep in and so distract you from dealing with a repair. Both situations have the potential for draining your batteries. On the upside, once again, a Leo or in Aquarius, could inspire you as they've done in the past.

You will find little comfort in your emotions today, dear Leo. You may want to simply stick to business. Concentrate on getting things done in your regular routine. Create a plan and stick to it. This is not a day to deviate from the norm, nor is it a time in which you will find sympathy from others. Stick close to home and take care of your personal business. Time is precious, so don't waste it.

Try not to be smothering today, dear Virgo. You may want to seek comfort in the company of others, but you may find that this action only produces grouchiness on the part of all parties involved. Curb your tendency to find fault in the ones you love. Your best bet is to focus your energy on tasks you've had on the back burner for quite some time. Tackle projects that need special attention and the most discipline.

It may be hard for you to feel connected to anyone today, dear Scorpio. You are probably better off just keeping to yourself. If you are feeling sad or depressed, it is best to work through these feelings on your own. Other people are not apt to be too sympathetic to your situation. You are better off sticking to your work in order to keep the demons out of your head.
