Is his approval rating why he is mobilizing the national guard?

Probably - political control is slipping. You’re aware that mobilizing the Guard is also inevitable in a general strike right?

Why would they mobilize the guard against a protest that doesn’t spurn change but results in people losing their homes?

If anyone attempts a sit down strike or picketing, the Guard will come out. Frankly if there's a 1000% rise in evictions they'll probably call out the Guard too, just to help local police seize homes

I’m sure the national guard attacking a picket line will result in people being against the general strike. Right?

Historically yes, the last time anything like a general strike got underway in the US the result was the First Red Scare and the election of Warren G Harding but hey maybe you get lucky this time

Historical speaking a government using violence against peaceful citizens results in more support for the government? Citation needed.
