Yes, but just like Bush '04, the out party just didn't run the right sort of campaign, nor was there some seriously forced error from the incumbent...besides maybe dumping NC.

If the election was held one year prior or one year after (so in 2011 or 2013), Obama would have lost.

Economy turned around at the right moment in 2012. Obama’s job approvals reflect this theory.

In 2013, yes.

In 2011, he knocked off Osama bin Laden, he'd have played that to hilt even more.
