U.S. Elections: While uncertainty reigns

The first Tuesday of November, the day on which the United States will hold its presidential elections, as is the tradition in that country, is one month away.
The Vice President and Democratic candidate, Kamala Harris, and the former Republican president, Donald Trump, will face each other on November 5 in elections that are expected to be close, and in which no scenario can be ruled out.
As the date approaches, uncertainty is growing: who will win the race?
Harris leads Trump, according to a new poll published one month before the election, but the Republican candidate maintains strong points in his favor that predict a close and unpredictable finish.
The New York Times/Siena College poll, conducted Sept. 29-Oct. 6 with 3,385 likely voters, found Kamala leading Trump 49% to 46%.
Harris, 59, is seen by younger voters as the candidate of change by a wide margin: 58 % to 34 %. While Trump leads among male voters by 11 points.
It also happened that more voters indicated that they trusted Trump and not Harris to manage what remains the main area of concern: the economy.
On the other hand, registered citizens of African descent have an overwhelmingly positive view of Vice President Kamala Harris, 70 percent, but are not confident she will change the country for the better, according to an AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll.
According to the polls, the battle will be defined in key states and swing states, focal points of action for both candidates in recent weeks.
National polls are a good barometer to measure how things are going, but they are not necessarily indicative of the outcome of the Electoral College, which will be determined by the most hotly contested states, such as Georgia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, where polls have been very close.
Let us recall that, in that nation, citizens do not elect their president directly, but through the 538 members of the Electoral College.
By means of this mechanism, each of the 50 states of the country contributes a determined number of electors or electoral votes distributed according to its population. In order to reach the White House, one of the candidates must obtain 270 electors.
There are still a few days to go before the end of the big show of American politics, in which the real power will select who will become, for four years, the visible face of the empire. Let's wait and see what happens.
