President Obama won re-election with 332 electoral votes over Republican challenger Mitt Romney, who had 206. He thus became the first president since Franklin D. Roosevelt to win another term with fewer electoral votes than in a previous election. Obama received 365 electoral votes in 2008.

Obama also became the first Democratic presidential candidate since FDR to win two elections with more than 50 percent of the vote.

Is barack obama the second youngest president?

No, actually he is the fifth youngest. Theodore Roosevelt was the youngest: he was just 42 when he became president in 1901. (He was the vice president at that time, but was elevated to president after William McKinley was assassinated.) The youngest person ever elected to the presidency was John F. Kennedy, who was inaugurated when he was 43 years old. Barack Obama was 47 when he was elected, which places him at #5. (In order: Teddy Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, Bill Clinton, Ulysses S. Grant, Barack Obama.)
