You're unironically right. War pretty much always boosts a US president's popularity. It's how Bush Jr got re elected after he stole the first election. The hogs love war. Biden bombing Iran, Yemen, or "Iranian proxies" (as American propaganda describes any group in the Middle East opposed to US interests) would boost his popularity.
It doesn't seem to be as much the case nowadays. If anything, liberals will vote for a war president regardless of party affiliation while conservatives vote consistently with their guy declaring war. They think Biden and the Dems are weak even after everything they've done so far. I don't think anything will really change that.
Well Trump didn't do a traditional reelection war and lost. Biden did two, but halfassed so the war electorate is grumbling.
