Nah. Absent a huge scandal or the onset of a recession, unseating an incumbent is difficult. And Obama was reasonably popular; his approvals did reach the low 40s in 2011, but after his honey moon year he was generally in the mid-to-high 40s during his first term. As in 2004, the incumbent might have been beatable, but it would have taken a great candidate, and I don't think people should be too hard on Romney for the loss.
