President Donald Trump's share of the popular vote at the 2020 election has fallen below 47 per cent, according to a report.

Despite the drop, he still secured millions more votes than defeated presidential candidates Mitt Romney in 2012 and Hilary Clinton in 2016.

The outgoing president has so far secured 74,115,722 votes — or 46.9 per cent of all ballots counted to date.

Meanwhile Joe Biden, president-elect, picked up 81,056,268 votes — or 51.3 per cent of the 158,073,433 total.
