I assume you meant 2012. The ratings were much better in 2012. A guy posted them. Read up a few posts.

If you listen to the Democratic debates, you would think he is.

Typo, you mean "Republican." Go listen to any GOP debate, I guarantee that "Obama" gets mentioned much more often than "Hillary".

You might have seen some Gallup Job Approval ratings of Obama which aren't so bad...47-49, maybe 46-50 or so...he's usually just a few points below even these days. What you probably haven't looked into is the state-by-state breakdown, but when you do, you see why the Democrats are in such trouble.

In only 5 states is Obama even above 50%! Swing states like Florida, Ohio, and Colorado appear they are ready to decisively kick the Democrats out of the White House this November. Even strong liberal states like IL, ME, and VT are fed up with this Administration and may welcome a new GOP President.
It doesn't work that way. A good portion of those who disapprove of Obama are liberals who feel hes not done enough. Also Hillary will be facing a psychotic white supremacist fascist in the Fall, so you'd do well to be more concerned with Shrimp Fingers Trump losing the House for the GOP

Why the GOP has a real shot at traditionally liberal states like MN, WA, MI, OR....

The only GOP candidate who can pull that off would be Mr. Trump. Cruz, Rubio, no friggin way.

Trump can take these states. In fact, he probably will.

The rest? Nope. That would be like running Romney or McCain again.

According to this, Trump has a shot at NY if the (D) candidate is Hillary.

Tons of people, maybe even including you, said that Trump wasn't a real candidate, would drop out, wouldn't win any elections, etc. Those predictions didn't pan out either.
