I mean, actually yes, it was. Obamacare was too much of a government intrusion, and the deficit spending was bankrupting America. That’s what the Tea Party et al ran on. What they MEANT was “I hate that black guy” but what they ran on was anti-economic populism.

Jobs program would directly affect the poor much more than any of those things you said but OK sure. Yeah I think he would have lost, probably worse, and I think 11-16 would have played out almost identically. Except he would have done more good than he actually did.
Which is why I hope we do that in 2020! ‘08 part 2: This Time It’s Radical(-ish, by American standards). (Or god forbid 2024). But I expect it to unfold more or less the same, except probably without the intermittent Senate supermajority.
