And in 4 years time, if things are going poorly, you would certainly have a point.

But in 4 years time, if things have improved, why bother switching to Obama?

Well easily for the reason that the other candidate is 82 years old?

Things likely aren't going to improve. Even if Trump kept the status-quo with regards to the economy we are overdue for a recession. On average we have one every 6.5 years and its been 16 years since the last real one (the Covid pause might have staved us off a bit.) And that is without Trump's policy positions. 

Plus people like Obama more than Trump, as the favorability polls have consistently shown. 

The Dems and MSM already tried this. They said Trump would be too old to run again back then. They even tried to indirectly convince people Trump and Biden were too old during the Rep primaries but when people didn't buy it they kept backing Biden, until he finally broke live at the debate.

Things aren't going to improve? Like Trump will never win 2016? Like Trumps done since he lost 2020? Like Biden is good for a second term? Like Kamala can beat Trump?

If people like the Obama's so much, when they told them to vote for Kamala because they believed in her and stood behind her, why didn't they vote for her?

The thirteen keys which has an amazing record even predicted Kamala should definitely win which had Lichtman convinced, was even wrong.

Barack has lost a few steps already and look how much younger he is than Trump. Barack just doesn't have now what made him Prez back then.

If things weren't going so well in 4 years however, then yes, Obama could beat Trump.
