His message does not have to be the same or similar to Obama's to reach the same voters. He's not running the same campaign. He's not running against the same opponent. He's not remotely the same person as Obama. So I'm not sure I understand the logic you are trying to bring here...
There is no philosophical overlap between Trump and Obama, which is why the small percentage flip is meaningless. Hillary ran on Obama's platform and yet many Obama voters didn't vote for her. Either those voters decided they didn't want that same platform, or those voters simply disliked Hillary so much they chose to vote against a platform they supported for 8 years.
