How Biden's Approval Rating Shifted in Every State During His Presidency

In a letter dated July 21, 2024, President Joe Biden ended his campaign for a second term, abandoning his long-held intention to top the Democratic ticket in 2024. In the weeks leading up to the announcement, calls for the President to end his reelection bid had been mounting from within the upper echelons of the Democratic Party. Under growing pressure, Biden stated that stepping aside was “in the best interest of [the] party and the country.”
The President’s decision not to seek reelection is historic, but not unprecedented. Harry Truman chose to forgo a chance at a second-term in 1952, as did Lyndon Johnson in 1968. But while Biden’s presidency is over half a century removed from that of Johnson or Truman, all three U.S. presidents were confronted with a common challenge in the final year of their respective administrations — low public opinion polling.
In Truman’s case, low job approval ratings were largely the product of a weak economy and the administration’s handling of the Korean War. Through years of steady military escalation in Vietnam, President Johnson lost much of the good will he inherited upon taking office after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. For Biden, the oldest president in American history, long-standing concerns over his age and mental fitness came to a head in the wake of his disastrous performance in a nationally televised debate. Notably, Biden’s popularity never reached the highs of either Truman or Johnson. (Here is a look at the oldest and youngest U.S. presidents. )
As Biden will be the first U.S. president in decades to voluntarily step down after a single term in office, 24/7 Wall St. compiled a state-by-state overview of Biden’s job approval rating throughout his presidency. We reviewed Biden’s quarterly approval ratings throughout his presidency — from the first quarter of 2021 through the second quarter of 2024 — identifying the highs and the lows reported in each of the 50 states, while also evaluating where the President stands now, and how current assessments compare with public perception at the outset of his administration. All data is from Morning Consult , a public opinion research company.
The highest quarterly approval rating Biden has had so far in any state was 68.5% in Vermont in the first quarter of 2021, the first three months of his presidency. It is likely no coincidence that Biden won Vermont in 2020 by a 35.4 percentage point margin, the widest of any state. Meanwhile, Biden’s lowest state-level quarterly approval rating of 14.3% was reported in Wyoming in the third quarter of 2023. Biden lost Wyoming in 2020 by a 43.3 point margin, by far the largest of the election.
In each of the 50 states, Biden’s highest approval rating was reported within the first 6 months of his presidency. Public opinion of Biden’s leadership dipped nationwide in the second half of his first year, following the chaotic American military withdrawal from Afghanistan. Approval of the administration never fully rebounded, as, despite largely positive economic indicators, households across the country were hit hard by soaring inflation. (Here is a look a the U.S. presidents who added the most to the national debt. )
According to the latest national polling results from Gallup, Biden currently has a 38% approval rating, down from 57% when he first took office. Across the 50 states, Biden’s approval rating in Q2 2024, the latest available period, ranges from about 19% to just over 53%.

At the end of a single term, Biden is voluntarily leaving office as one of the least popular presidents in modern American history. Biden’s approval rating has never been high among Republican voters, and despite the many legislative accomplishments his administration can rightfully claim, many within the president’s own party now disapprove of the president. Ultimately, Biden’s age, which was long touted by the administration as an asset, proved to be his greatest liability.
