His approval rating has really jumped over the past couple months in New Hampshire, Ohio, and a couple others I believe. This is just from 2011. The Obama campaign has some work to do in some states, but a few that he lost in 2008 are up for grabs this year.

EDIT to add: The national average for Obama was 44%/47%.

1. People here don't care for him much,

the Republicans for the usual reasons and the Democrats because he's not as progressive as we'd like him to be.

2. Red state/ blue state divide

3. Thanks for the work on that post.

Your effort is much appreciated.

Colorado will stay blue, the low polls are just because it's not been campaigned in. He just needs to touch down for a few hours and Colorado skyrockets in his direction.

4. Wow WI is 47-44.

I take this to be related to a general disgust with Republicans in this state, which I hope will persist for a few decades.

6. a few surprises - that NC, GA are so high...NH, OH, OR so low.

7. I live in Maryland.

I have no problem voting for MLK or Cesar Chavez instead of Obama in November because Obama will clearly win my state even if MLK or Chavez get a few symbolic votes. If I lived a bit north in Pennsylvania, I'd vote for Obama.

8. Those numbers are aggregated over a year.

What are the current numbers? Those say a lot more than a bunch of numbers spread across a very eventful year.
