It seems to be. Bush won his second term with similar numbers, and every Democrat in congress, including Obama, was saying he had no mandate. Yet, for some reason, Obama has one now. Care to explain that, or are you simply going to call me a racist bigot partisan hack because I live in reality?
Nobody knows what 'mandate' means, as it supposedly applies to elected officials.
Everyone knows what a mandate is, some of us just won't let you change the parameters based on the the fact that the president has a (D) or an (R) behind their name. If Obama has a mandate, so does every Republican in Congress. The fact that the mandates counter each other only bothers idiots that think government is supposed to able to do whatever it wants.
So Obama had a mandate in 2008 - 2009.
Why then did practically everything he did get characterized as being rammed down someone's throat?
