But why? His performance has been -overall- very good.

Because inflation got out of control for a while, and voters hate inflation. So all over the globe, they generally threw out of office every political party that was the incumbent party when inflation spiked.

Biden made it worse for the Democrats, because his response to voters hating inflation was largely to deny the problem. Team transitory, and all that. The most charitable framing is that they acknowledged the problem but refused to alter any of their priorities to combat it. Instead, just getting really mad at Joe Manchin and Krysten Sinema for being concerned about inflationary effects, rather than signing off on a $6 trillion or $2.5 trillion spending package. Which is probably not what voters wanted.
