A majority of Latinx voters are dissatisfied with how President Joe Biden is handling the economy and issues of border security, according to a new Sunday poll.
While generally approving of the president overall, more than 50 percent of Latinx voters surveyed by NBC News/Telemundo gave Biden failing marks on the economy, 'border security and immigration,' and 'the cost of living.'
The poll also found that Democrats' lead over Republicans among Latinx and Latinx communities has shrunk to the smallest its ever been - with less than six weeks until the November midterm elections.
Voters across the country will head to the ballot box on November 8 to decide which party has control of Congress for the latter half of Biden's term.
Fifty-four percent of US voters polled by NBC News/Telemundo back Democrats, while 33 percent back the GOP - a 21 point lead.
That's five points down from the left's lead in 2020 - and has shrunk by half since 2012, when Democrats enjoyed a 42-point gap.
It's worth noting that the Latinx and Latinx voting bloc is by no means a monolith and is among the most politically diverse in the country.
The figures are part of an overall bleaker picture for Biden's party, which currently holds slim majorities in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
In Sunday's poll, Republicans also come out slightly ahead on issues that appear to top most voters' minds going into the midterms.
They're more trusted by Latinx voters to handle the economy, border security and crime - though neither party cracked a 40 percent threshold of support.
Democrats, on the other hand, are favored by large margins when it comes to abortion, 'addressing the concerns of the Latinx community,' and 'protecting democracy.'
The president's perceived weaknesses are similar to those of his party - 54 percent of Latinx voters surveyed said they disapprove of how he's handling the economy, and 60 percent disapprove of the cost of living under Biden.
Fifty-one percent gave him negative feedback on immigration and the border.
Last month there were more than two million migrant encounters on the southwestern border for the fiscal year, a record high.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) commissioner Chris Magnus explained at the time, 'Failing communist regimes in Venezuela, Nicaragua and Cuba are driving a new wave of migration across the Western Hemisphere, including the recent increase in encounters at the southwest U.S. border.'
Meanwhile officials in border states like Texas and Arizona have been demanding that the Biden administration play a bigger role in easing the burden on state and local communities that are ill-equipped to deal with the population surge themselves.
It prompted even one of Biden's fellow Democrats to call him out.
Rep. Henry Cuellar, who represents part of the Texas border with Mexico, suggested on Fox News last week that Biden was ignoring his calls to do more about the border.
'I have tried and I have tried and I have tried,' Cuellar said in late September when asked if he warned the president.
'For many years I've said that we need to make sure we do the right thing at the border.'
Asked if the Biden administration was heeding his calls, Cuellar said: 'No, they're not.'
Sunday's poll was conducted September 17 through 26 and sampled 1,000 registered voters.

Nothing will actually change yet the side that loses will be so upset and the side that wind will be so happy. Most of them will still not have figured out that if voting actually mattered they would have made it illegal

The only economy a chud victory truly improves is the drama economy. Rightoids are pretty boring and predictable in their seethe - maybe we get a new conspiracy theory or two, potentially a J6-type deal if it gets really wild, but they mostly just hit the same 5-10 talking points repeatedly. Leftoids, on the other hand, fundamentally redefine the seethe meta every single time they lose.

In other countries maybe, but the President also wields the sorts of powers monarchs have in other countries instead the head of state and the monarch being two separate people.
Smooth brains seethe about the monarchy in Bongland but having a room full of old, rich, secure in the power people in the house of lords provide such much needed inertia that stops the government rushing through too much shit. Then we have the king that has the power of veto that can shut down the government if things go too far.
In America the President can just issue executive orders and its very hard to stop them.

I didn't read any of the post but if the Latinx I've met and heard of are representative I'd like to trade anyone who has ever used 'Latinx' for more Latinx and Latinx.

Having a daughter is the most degrading thing you can do with your life
As you're trying to raise her to be a good person she is at home doing buss it challenges on TikTok talking to older men probably getting roped into drugs and stripping. Here in Alabama , she probably will run off at 16 too and marry the bastard. Women these days are just a disappointment, imagine you raise the perfect woman , and she never learns any value of hard work and just gets fricked for a living. I could never, and you're a cucked loser for having a daughter.
