- Approval ratings are accurate as of late June 2023. Approval ratings change constantly and rapidly, so current ratings will likely deviate at least slightly.
Approval ratings are an indication of public support for a president. They are based on poll responses asking if respondents approve or disapprove of the way the person is “handling their job as president.” Combining data from multiple polls gives an idea of how people feel overall about the work the president has done.
Approval ratings are constantly changing. Because new polls are conducted often, the percentages of approval will change as well. Approval rating changes can be caused by economic shifts, domestic or foreign military actions, and legislation that the public sees as the responsibility of and reflection on the current president.
State | Approval Rating |

| California | 54% |
| Hawaii | 53% |
| Maryland | 52% |
| Vermont | 51% |
| Massachusetts | 50% |
| New York | 50% |
| Connecticut | 49% |

| Washington | 49% |
| Rhode Island | 48% |
Approval ratings are looked at in terms of net approval or disapproval. This means the difference between the percentage of poll respondents approving and the percentage of those disapproving. For example, if 53% of respondents say they disapprove of the president’s handling of the job and 47% say they approve, there would be a -6% approval rating. To indicate these results, the state in this example would have a +6% disapproval.
President Joe Biden’s Approval Ratings
President Biden has, like most presidents, faced an ever-changing approval rating. His highest approval rating was 63% in mid-2021, with a low of 31% in the summer of 2022. This is a fairly normal range for presidents in the last decade.
There are currently five states that have net approval ratings of 3 to 10%. They are California, Hawaii, Delaware, New York, and Massachusetts. Nine states have an approval rating of -3 to -10%. Eleven more have approval ratings of -10 to -20%, while eighteen have approval ratings of less than -20%.
Additionally, there are six states that are split, meaning that there is less than a 3% percent difference between the number of poll respondents who approve or disapprove of President Biden’s job as president.
Below is the approval rating of each state based on polls taken in November 2022.
