No, an official state of war does not have to exist for the president to be called the commander in chief. The title of commander in chief is a constitutional position that designates the president as the highest-ranking military officer and leader of the armed forces, regardless of whether the country is at war or not. The president's role as commander in chief is not dependent on the declaration of war.
