Clinton had better favorability numbers than Trump and she still lost.
While I agree with much of your original post (I voted for JBE btw), I think the Clinton/Trump comparison is off. Clinton beat Trump solidly in the popular vote, but lost the election because popular vote is not that meaningful, it's all Electoral College. Unlike Louisiana's election which turned on popular vote alone. Favorability matters a lot more in a state election.

IIRC without looking at the data, my statement re: Clinton and Trump favorables held true in the battlegrounds of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin.
That's a fair point you bring up though.
