A Note to AGS Visitors

Americans for Gun Safety (AGS) and the AGS Foundation (AGSF) have been folded into Third Way, an organization founded and operated by the former AGS and AGSF management team.

For Third Way’s latest gun safety policy and message guidance, please visit our gun issues page. There you can also find reports produced by AGS in a special sub-category.

For current gun safety data and other information, we recommend the American Hunters and Shooters Association, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, and Mayors Against Illegal Guns.

Abstract

Did you know that Barack Obama has won more votes in the fifteen races he has lost than in the twenty-nine he has won? Neither did we—until we crunched the numbers.

Description

Through 44 races in states, protectorates, and someplace called Americans Abroad, Barack Obama holds a 13,594,269 to 12,802,480 lead over Hillary Clinton. That is a margin of 791,789 votes, or 51.5% to 48.5%. By way of context, Barack’s popular vote lead is greater than Hillary’s margins in California and New York combined. Beyond the overall total, however, the breakdown of votes based on publicly available exit polls shows some fascinating things.
