Obviously. He came into office right after a gigantic economic crash. No matter who had won that election, the country would be in better shape now, because it was at such a low point then.
In any case, it makes no sense to vote based solely on whether or not you think the country is in better shape now than when the last president was elected. The president is only part of that equation and none of the current candidates are even the current president.
It also makes no sense to have an "anyone but this guy" approach to evaluating candidates. That's how a lot of disasters get into office in the first place. Just because one person sucks doesn't mean another doesn't suck even more.
If you're going to vote, just vote for whoever you think will do the best job.
