I don't think this is 100% the case. I think the average American doesn't give a shit about foreign policy, so they get what they're supposed to believe from the natsec ghouls on the TV. They're all liberal hawks who despise Biden's decision to withdraw, so it's easy to manufacture consent about it.
I think the average American does have pretty reactionary views in general, but your average Joe couldn't even locate Afghanistan on a map of the Middle East. They just watched CNN, saw the people dropping off of planes, and thought "this is bad, so Biden bad. Disapprove in poll."
