Grasping for factoids is what losers do. You can know tons of electoral trivia and arrange it into a picture you like, it's not necessarily going to be an accurate depiction of anything. These facts can be illustrative, but only in context.
A few points of fact:
Incumbents have an advantage. Hillary is not an incumbent so she does not have that advantage. But, that doesn't equal she will probably lose.
Hillary Clinton's popularity has had its ups and downs. But, at this point, she's fairly popular for a prominent political figure in our polarized country.
Ultimately, it's a popularity contest. Nobody in Ohio is deciding not to vote for Hillary Clinton because her margin over Rick Lazio wasn't impressive enough.
