Obama's smaller margin was due to the shaky economy (it was improving but slowly and unemployment was still high) and the fact that GWB's presidency wasn't AS MUCH of an albatross for Republicans as it was in 2008. Also the Republican base was more motivated in 2012 because they thought they could win...not so much in 2008.
