The above link is to a spreadsheet created by Dave Wasserman of the Cook Political Report. The results are a bit hard to see if you're using firefox, but per his twitter the "semi-final" numbers are:

Obama: 65,899,557 (51.06%)
Romney: 60,931,959 (47.21%)

Not as big a win as 2008, but all things considered a very solid margin, and one that ought to be a little embarrassing to almost every national pollster. Certainly Gallup and Rasmussen should be taking a very close look at their methodology right now.
Pretty sure their methodology was hope and pray for the candidate they most favour.
