And yes, this is generally true of almost every candidate.
As for there being just as many people "who voted for Obama because they thought he was the better candidate as there were who thought he was less bad" - I don't think there is a distinction. If he is less bad, then he is the better candidate.

Devaluing a vote as TM described it is not a thing. Votes have no value in our two party system. People are compelled to compromise between candidates neither of whom represent over 60% of what most voters want. A candidate that bridges the gap between the warring factions risks making the warring factions obsolete.
What the majority of people quietly want is a candidate who is socially liberal, fiscally conservative. We came close with Clinton, which is why the GOP loathed him so much, and the Lefties in the Democratic Party hate him.
