Do specific groups hold the president accountable for presidential policies and their consequences that affect these groups? In this article I test the coalitional hypothesis, which focuses on group-specific responses to the president, using a new data set on state-level presidential approval. Results indicate that, when it comes to the economy, the president is held accountable for both the nation's health and the state's economic performance. However a presidential visit to a state, an action designed to target mass public support from a state, does not result in increases in presidential approval in the visited state.
