Most recent tally has Obama ahead 3.1% in the popular vote (some 4 million people). Wider than Bush's win against Kerry. Still some votes to be counted in heavily Democratic states like NY & CA.
Political guru Larry Sabato says that we probably lost at least a million votes (not lost actual cast votes, but people didn't vote) as a result of Sandy. Most of which would have been in heavily Democratic areas as well (New York, Pennsylvania, parts of the New England area).
This was not a "close" election, no matter how you spin it.
