National online poll shows how Biden rates in your state

A national online poll says Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts and Vermont are the only states in which President Biden had a positive job rating over the last three and a half weeks, and in Maryland it's only a 1-percentage-point advantage, 44% to 43%, well within the margin of error.

The survey of almost 166,000 self-described registered voters by Civiqs, taken Jan. 20 through Feb. 14. Biden's overall rating was 34% approval and 57% disapproval, in the range of other recent national polls. Online polls are becoming more common; Civiqs explains its methodology here.

The state-level samples are broken down by age group, education level, gender, party and race. There is no urban-suburban-rural breakdown, but Biden fared poorly in several states with large rural populations. His positive rating was only 16% in West Virginia, 18% in Wyoming and 19% in North Dakota. But his biggest advantage, 49% to 40%, was in highly rural Vermont. His approval is under 50% in every state.
