During those 10 years, the Democrats also moved\u2026 to more of a focus on income inequality and racial equity. These are unappealing messages to people who don\u2019t view themselves as victims, believe in the American Dream, and are largely on their way to the middle class.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2013Giancarlo Sopo, who led the Trump campaign\u2019s hispanic outreach in 2020<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-321195\" class=\"size-full wp-image-321195\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Win-McNameeStaffGetty-Images3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2021\/12\/Win-McNameeStaffGetty-Images3.jpg 600w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2021\/12\/Win-McNameeStaffGetty-Images3-300x200.jpg 300w\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-321195\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Win McNamee\/Staff\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>The Numbers<\/p>\n<p>A new NPR\/PBS poll has President Biden hitting new record lows, with 41% approval and 55% disapproval \u2013 a 20-point jump in disapproval in under a year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Independents were crucial for Biden in 2020, but right now, just 29% approve of the job he\u2019s doing, with 66% disapproving \u2014 a 30-point drop in the last six months.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Of every demographic, President Biden struggles the most with latinos, with 65% disapproving of the job he\u2019s doing and only 33% approving.<\/p>\n<p>Latino Approval Ratings<\/p>\n<p>In 2020, exit polls showed President Biden winning 66% of latino voters nationwide. In 2016, Hillary Clinton won 65%, and Obama won 71% in 2012. Since President Biden took office, latino support for Democrats has started to drop at unprecedented rates.<\/p>\n<p>Another poll from The Wall Street Journal this month showed latino voters are evenly split among Republicans and Democrats for the first time in decades.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Nationwide Trend<\/p>\n<p>In the Virginia gubernatorial race this year, exit polling showed Republican Glenn Youngkin won the latino vote by 10 points at 54 to 45. In the Democratic bastion of McAllen, Texas \u2013&nbsp;a border town which is 85% latino \u2013 Republicans won the mayor\u2019s race this year. Similar examples happened in Arizona, Nevada, and California.<\/p>\n<p>Potential Reasons: In Miami, the emergence of an openly socialist wing of the Democratic Party is alienating voters who fled communism in Latin America. In Texas and Arizona, concerns over the economy, shut downs, and border security have harmed Democrats. Meanwhile, soaring crime and rising cost-of-living are major concerns in Latino neighborhoods in major metropolitan areas, which are issues Republicans are leaning into.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-321197\" class=\"size-full wp-image-321197\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Patrick-T.-FALLONPATRICK-T.-FALLONContributorAFP-via-Getty-Images4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2021\/12\/Patrick-T.-FALLONPATRICK-T.-FALLONContributorAFP-via-Getty-Images4.jpg 600w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2021\/12\/Patrick-T.-FALLONPATRICK-T.-FALLONContributorAFP-via-Getty-Images4-300x200.jpg 300w\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-321197\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Patrick T.

The CDC announced that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usnews.com\/news\/health-news\/articles\/2021-12-14\/u-s-fentanyl-deaths-soaring-especially-in-west\">64%<\/a> of all overdoses are related to fentanyl or other synthetic opioids.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Fentanyl has now exceeded car accidents and suicides as the number-one killer of young people, ages 18 to 45, according to an <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1S0szR2Ua9v0Sr91YhDD7gPrXsDkHxDvP\/view\">analysis<\/a> of CDC data performed by the nonprofit group Families Against Fentanyl. The organization says 78,795 Americans died from fentanyl overdoses over the last two years: roughly 37,000 in 2020 and 41,500 in 2021.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>What It Means: Fentanyl has claimed the life of an American every 12-and-a-half minutes.<\/p>\n<p>The Border<\/p>\n<p>The amount of fentanyl seized by U.S. Customs and Border Protection nearly tripled this year over last year. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dea.gov\/resources\/facts-about-fentanyl\">Two milligrams<\/a> of fentanyl is enough to kill someone. Border Patrol agents seized <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbp.gov\/newsroom\/stats\/drug-seizure-statistics\">11,201 pounds<\/a> in Fiscal Year 2021 and another 2,158 pounds of fentanyl since the beginning of this Fiscal Year, which began in October, which is enough to kill 3 billion people.<\/p>\n<p>So far this year, DEA agents have seized 20.4 million counterfeit prescription pills containing the deadly opioid. Drug traffickers often disguise the pills as popular prescription drugs like Oxycontin, Percocet, Vicodin, Xanax, and Adderall, which they pretend to sell at a discount over the internet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Other narcotics \u2014 including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kxxv.com\/cdc-fentanyl-overdoses-now-leading-cause-of-death-for-americans-aged-18-to-45\">heroin, cocaine, and marijuana<\/a>\u2014 have been found to contain traces of fentanyl, as well. In fact, over four months this year, in the state of Connecticut, <a href=\"https:\/\/newyork.cbslocal.com\/2021\/11\/22\/connecticut-fentanyl-marijuana-confirmed\/\">39 people<\/a> overdosed from marijuana that secretly contained tiny specks of fentanyl.<\/p>\n<p>According to the DEA, international drug traffickers import fentanyl from China or India to Mexico. Then, they transform it into counterfeit pills, or traffic it directly across the border.
