Obama wins 51-47%; Obama wins 26 states plus D.C.; Obama wins by around 5 million votes.
Only 4 states were within 5 points - FL, VA, OH, NC.
In the past 6 elections, there are 242 electoral votes that have always voted Dem. In the past 4 elections there are 180 electoral votes that have always voted GOP.
Ergo, if you stop there, you will see that the Presidential election of 2016 will come down to fighting over 126 electoral votes, with the Dem candidate needing 28 and the GOP candidate needing 89 (as forcing a tie leads to the House voting, which due to 2010 redistricting will almost certainly be a GOP tiebreaker win).
