You can maybe narrow this down to "What could have Biden done during his first term so that he'd be "above water" in *swing state* polls?
All of those states in the NYTs poll lost real income at the median. So it's very likely that something like 60+% of their populations are poorer now than in 2019 and they know it.
Towards the start of his administration there was a lot of talk about a second new deal all of which just kind of melted in 2021/22. Since there wasn't even anything concrete passed along those lines he's basically abandoned economic populism. I'd guess just undoing that would be enough to get him "above water" in those swing states.
(I'm not actually sure it would make much sense to look at his popularity nationwide just because his party affiliation makes half the electorate, more or less, hate his guts.)
There's nothing here!
