Americans tend to like red states less

The average share of U.S. adult citizens with a favorable or unfavorable view of blue states, red states, and swing states

Net favorability is calculated by subtracting a state's unfavorable rating from its favorable rating. A state's partisanship is determined by averaging the results of its past three presidential elections (2016, 2020, and 2024) and its most recent Senate race and gubernatorial race. States that a party won by 15 percentage points or more on average are considered "blue" or "red" states. States won by smaller margins on average are considered "swing states." Washington, D.C., is excluded because it is not a state.
