The right got their agenda passed during the Bush administration. Obama has not been able to unravel that agenda as he has been blocked by the Republicans. Sure, House Republicans have 33 times passed a bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act and they passed the Ryan budget that ends Medicare and turns it into a voucher program. But they have not passed a single jobs bill the President has presented. And the American people don't understand the inside politics of Washington so they are making misguided choices, aided by a media that does not help sort out these issues and instead only focus on the horserace aspect rather than the pressing issues of the day.
