Final Tally Shows Obama First Since 56 to Win 51% Twice
Barack Obama is the first president in more than five decades to win at least 51 percent of the national popular vote twice, according to a revised vote count in New York eight weeks after the Nov. 6 election.
State election officials submitted a final tally on Dec. 31 that added about 400,000 votes, most of them from provisional ballots in the Democratic stronghold of New York City that were counted late in part because of complications caused by Hurricane Sandy.
The president nationally won 65.9 million votes -- or 51.1 percent -- against Republican challenger Mitt Romney, who took 60.9 million votes and 47.2 percent of the total cast, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Obama is the first president to achieve the 51 percent mark in two elections since Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower, who did it in 1952 and 1956, and the first Democrat to do so since Franklin D. Roosevelt, who won four consecutive White House races. Roosevelt received 53.4 percent of the vote -- his lowest -- in his last race in 1944.

(4,113 posts)10. The media put idiots like Palin and Trump on all of the time.
These idiots take themselves and their positions seriously, they attract a percentage of low-information voters and next thing you know, we have a Frankenstein's monster that's out of control.
If the media would just put more emphasis on covering and investigating things based on newsworthiness instead of ratings, this country wouldn't be so off-the-charts stupid.
