Dois dias antes do tão esperado debate televisionado, Kamala Harris e Donald Trump estão empatados nas pesquisas para a eleição presidencial dos EUA em 5 de novembro.
REVISTA EXAME: Um conto de seis estados: visitamos as pequenas cidades que vão decidir a eleição dos EUA
O último conjunto de pesquisas de opinião mostra que o magnata republicano, que se apresenta como porta-voz dos americanos empobrecidos e das vítimas da inflação, mantém uma grande chance de retornar à Casa Branca, apesar de seus problemas judiciais e do caos que cerca sua saída da presidência em 2021.
Harris, que conseguiu remobilizar o campo democrata após sua entrada tardia na campanha como substituta do titular Joe Biden, que desistiu da disputa, também tem grande probabilidade de vencer.
Nacionalmente, Trump, de 78 anos, tem apenas um ponto de vantagem sobre a atual vice-presidente Kamala (48% a 47%), de acordo com uma pesquisa do New York Times/Siena College realizada entre 3 e 6 de setembro, uma diferença muito pequena para sugerir uma tendência.
Ainda mais porque nos Estados Unidos a eleição é decidida por sufrágio universal indireto e seu resultado final depende de um punhado de estados decisivos para definir a maioria do colégio eleitoral que indicará a Casa Branca.

Estados decisivos darão o tom
De acordo com a mesma pesquisa, Kamala supera ligeiramente Trump em Wisconsin (50% x 47%), Michigan (49% x 47%) e Pensilvânia (49% x 48%) e estão empatados (em 48%) em Nevada, Geórgia, Carolina do Norte e Arizona.
De acordo com outra pesquisa da CBS News/YouGov, também realizada entre 3 e 6 de setembro e publicada neste domingo, a situação está particularmente próxima em Michigan (50% a 49% a favor de Kamala), Wisconsin (51% x 49%) e Pensilvânia (50%).
A incerteza é reforçada pela cautela quanto à confiabilidade dos próprios pesquisadores, que em 2016 subestimaram o voto em Trump, que acabou vencendo a candidata democrata e favorita nas pesquisas, Hillary Clinton.
A única certeza é que o primeiro debate televisionado entre Trump e Harris, programado para a noite de terça-feira (10) na Filadélfia, considerada o berço da democracia americana, é aguardado com ansiedade no estado-chave da Pensilvânia e será transmitido pela ABC.
