Sex and the Party of Science

Women, Democrats nearly twice as likely to think Astrology can predict the future:
The latest research from YouGov shows that 14% of Americans do think that horoscopes can tell you something about the future, while 65% don't think that they can. A fifth are unsure. Democrats (21%) and women (19%) are the most likely to think horoscopes can tell you about the future, while men (10%) and people in the Midwest (also 10%) are the least likely to think this. In the UK only 8% of the public think that horoscopes can tell the future.

When it comes to star signs and personality, most Americans (51%) don't think that star signs can actually tell you something about yourself or others, though 30% do think that star signs can be informative. Women (39%) are almost twice as likely as men (21%) to think that star signs can tell you something. While most men (62%) don't think star signs can tell you anything, only 40% of women agree.
From the actual report:
