Barack Obama won 52 percent of the popular vote in his historic campaign for the White House. Just to put that into context:
- The last time a Democrat got as much as 52 percent in a Presidential election was 1964.
- The last time a non-incumbent got as much as 52 percent in a Presidential election was 1952.
You have to be kidding - almost 1/2 the votes were against him.
