  • Hawaii: 49 percent approval, 42 percent disapproval
  • Massachusetts: 48 percent approval, 39 percent disapproval
  • Vermont: 49 percent approval, 39 percent disapproval

Overall, the poll showed Biden with only 35 percent approval from the respondents and a 56 percent disapproval, with nine percent having no opinion. The poll showed Biden with net approval of negative 20.

Nearly one full year in office, Biden has seen some of the lowest approval ratings after dealing with many problems such as the supply chain crisis, record-high inflation, and botched Afghanistan withdrawal. Additionally, the “marquee legislation” of Biden’s legislation agenda, the $1.75 trillion Build Back Better Act (BBB), was effectively killed in the Senate after Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) said he could not vote to pass it.

KEARNY, NEW JERSEY - OCTOBER 25: U.S. President Joe Biden gives a speech on his Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal and Build Back Better Agenda at the NJ Transit Meadowlands Maintenance Complex on October 25, 2021 in Kearny, New Jersey. On Thursday during a CNN Town Hall, President Joe Biden announced that a deal to pass major infrastructure and social spending measures was close to being done. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi also announced on Sunday that she expects Democrats to have an "agreement" on a framework for the social safety net plan and a vote on the bipartisan infrastructure bill in the next week.The reconciliation package, which was slated at first to cost $3.5 Trillion, would still be the biggest support to expanding education, health care and child care support, and also help to fight the climate crisis as well as make further investments in infrastructure. Congress still needs to pass a bipartisan infrastructure bill by October 31 before the extension of funding for surface transportation expires. (Photo by Michael M. Santiago/Getty Images)

The CIVIQS rolling job approval average had 147,731 responses tracked between January 20 and January 4, just less than a whole year of Biden being in office.

The CIVIQS tracking model is meant to capture the shifts in attitude of various groups over time across all 50 states and Washington, DC. These changes can happen either over time or rapidly.
