Is Astrology More Accurate than Political Polling?

Are you sick of following the news to figure out who is winning in the Democratic race? Forget fair and balanced media coverage and rely on the mystical arts instead! The Huffington Post has a unique way of reminding us that political polls are often no better a prediction of outcomes than, say, horoscopes. Huffpollstrology keeps you up to date on the candidates’ horoscopes, online political gambling odds, weather reports, and poll results. Their reasoning? Political polls are decreasingly accurate as fewer respondents participate and more people identify themselves as “undecided.” The scariest part about Huffpollstrology is that sometimes the horoscopes seem a heck of a lot more accurate than the polls.
