I totaled it up:

35,208,007 in >70% Obama counties (would be 45 million if Los Angeles County was 0.3% more Obama!, also Cuyahoga and King, WA were close to 70% Obama), over 13 million of which comes from California and New York.

23,281,520 in >70% Romney counties (over 5 million of which come from Texas) over a collection of mostly rural America.

Despite the fact that there are far more >70% Romney counties, more people live in deep blue America than deep red America. This is part of Democrats problem with their voter base being too concentrated to win governmental bodies that are based on equal population districting (state legislatures, the US house)
