In 2012, Romney defeated Obama by 73 percent to 25 percent in Utah â the largest margin of victory in any state. This year, Trump won just 46 percent of the vote -- a 26 point drop-off. Much of the drop-off can be traced to Salt Lake County, home to roughly 4 in 10 Utah residents.
Obama's total vote amount of 69.5 million votes is the highest number ever won by a presidential candidate. The total of 131 million votes cast in the election represented over 43% of the total U.S. population, the second highest share of any U.S. presidential election, only behind the 2016 election.
