The unemployment number is a good thing for him today, but we are a long ways from the election. If the number is in the mid to low 7%'s when the election comes he will be very hard to beat. He can simply say: "the republicans fucked up the economy, I made the tough choices that have us back on track and growing. I got Bin Laden. I got Gadaffi out of office. I got us out of Iraq and on a plan to get us out of Afghanistan. I passed the healthcare bill. Do you want to move forward with me, or go back to the same policies that the republicans used to nearly destroy this country."
Of course it isn't all true or accurate, but he will make is sound good and politics is about what you can convince people is the truth not what really is the truth.
