Five US presidents, including Nixon and Kennedy, won the presidency with a popular vote margin of victory less than 1.46%. Gore lost to Bush in 2000 with a 54.2% voter turnout even though he won the popular vote by 0.51%. Clinton loses to Trump with a 53.9% voter turnout even though she's currently winning the popular vote by 1.56%. Unprecedented.
