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.

Thanks to you, two groups may now be drawing together. You might need to remind both of what they said to you just a couple of days ago though. A younger person might welcome your observations whilst someone with greater experience could be resentful of your apparent interference. In short, your capacity for tact and diplomacy could be put to the test. It might also be necessary to make contact with an insurer or financial advisor.

Renewing acquaintance with someone who was once so important - and whom you feel was 'lucky' for you in some way seems likely. It's possible that this relationship could now be put on a new footing. Your joint interest in a service or product could result in your joining financial forces. Quite separately, the Arts and family matters could fuse together in a positive way.

Anticipation could leave you in excited state - yet still alert to potential difficulties. If something seems too good to be true, then it probably is. Yet you may well be attracting a degree of good fortune. You might even be tempted to speculate - and/or to invest in a hobby. The other possibility is that a love interest has been awakened!

Two things might surprise you: first could be contact with someone who's heard about you and now wants to 'pick your brain'. Secondly, you could be thrown by someone purporting to speak on behalf of a group or company and whose position you don't yet understand. In both cases, there may be more going on to your advantage than you'd have expected.
