I don't really agree with this.  If anything, the parts of the country that got smashed hardest in 2008-09 swung once to Obama in 2008 and have been swinging back R ever since.  I would expect the "Somebody help us!" vote to be more anti-incumbent than left wing.  I would argue the same was true with the Great Depression.  E.g., an incumbent Democrat would have been thrown out just as fast in 1932.
