Didn't know if it would happen but it did. He's the only Democratic President to be elected then reelected by over 50% of the Popular vote since FDR.

His margin will only increase. We've got millions of votes left to count here on the west coast.

That probably means Romney ends up in the 47%-something ... Tongue

It would be nice if it ended up near 47.47% ...

Jackson is the only other one. Obama is the only one who did not in a previous election run for President or Vice President and fail to become President or Vice President.

End result of 51 - 48 is my guess.

Great! Cheesy With all the ballots left from WA and other democratic States, I hope he can increase his margin to over 3%.

I don't know about 3%, but he should be able to get the 2.46% that qualifies as a mandate.

With any luck, the popular vote will come close to the 51-47-2 that I originally predicted.  

BTW, where are you getting your numbers from?  CNN still has Obama at 50%, with Romney at 48%.

That's not surprising actually, to me.

Although I await the day I get to see a candidate get 60%+ of the pop vote.
