Inflation being down, doesn't mean prices are down. I have a positive view about how his administration and the Fed have so far thread the needle of curbing inflation without tanking the economy. But that's too nuanced for too many voters.
The perception of the economy under Biden is his by far his biggest problem right now. He also was put in a no-win situation in current world events that he was bound to piss off half his supporters on whichever avenue he took.
That's all probably the best reason for him to step aside. He's carrying too much baggage from these events.

And as politicians go, all they have to do is say 'hey look at all those problems' without offering any kind of solution and people will vote for them.
Like I pointed out earlier, the immigration crisis here in Canada is a perfect example. The Liberals are scum for what they did, and should be booted out tomorrow, but its not like any other party is offering a better solution.
However, that is also no reason NOT to remove a party, as politicians should know they are accountable to the voters.
