What was Polk’s margin of victory in the electoral college?

Sagot :

Polk’s margin of victory was approximately 1.4 percent. :)
Though Polk won the popular vote by a little over one percent, he won by a comfortable margin in the electoral college. James G. Birney of the nascent Liberty Party took two percent of the popular vote, and may have swung the election by taking votes from Clay in New York.
