This what he told Lester Holt.

He told Lester Holt that he thinks he and his team are pretty good at seeing things coming––but not Trump’s victory. Part of that, Obama said, is due to the fact that the polling was so off.
He admitted there was a lot of disappointment at Hillary Clinton‘s loss, as well as the broader loss for the Democratic party.
Obama conceded, “I had trouble transferring my personal popularity or support to the broader cause of the Democratic party.”
He said it was difficult for him to both run the country and rebuild the “grassroots party apparatus” his party needed.
