No. In fat, you could lose in 26 of the 50 states if you won the states with the majority of electorial college votes. No
Electors are elected by popular vote but the president is elected by the electoral college. A president candidate can win the popular vote and still not win if he doesn't win the electoral college.
The electoral election
The US president is elected if they win the vote of the Electoral College.
Theoretically, I suppose you could. You could also win every state lottery on the same day you were elected President of the United States. Neither is very likely to actually happen.

A Presidential candidate must obtain 270 Electoral Votes (the vote cast in the electoral college of the U.S. by the representatives of each state in a presidential election) to be elected President of the United States.

He is the FIRST black man to be elected president of the USA.
He is nominated at a party convention and runs for the office. In the general election people vote, but a president is not elected by popular vote but by electors. These people are House members, senate members. It takes 270 electoral votes to win.
