You didn't understand what Kane was saying.
Republicans are saying Trump's approval rating right now before the midterms is higher than Obama's before the 2010 midterms. (When we say "higher" we really mean "slightly higher".) However, while the Republicans are trying to play this off like it's a great and beautiful thing, it really isn't. You are comparing Trump's "all time high" to what is really Obama's average.
At the time of the 2010 midterms, Obama had only 45% approval rating. This was during the height of the recession. The Democrat party didn't do too well during the 2010 midterms. While Republicans are trying to claim this is "great" the truth is Republicans are expected to fair poorly in the midterms.
I should add according to Wikipedia, Trump's all time highest approval was on the day he was elected at 45%. Obama's highest approval rate was 69%.
