3 million more in the popular vote
but more than that, more people live in big cities than the country side by a big margin. And also it is shown that cities house a larger percent of more liberal people than not. (they are exposed to more cultures, races, attitudes which has a dampening effect on xenophobia). Sadly many of that liberal majority do not vote. But they will still side with civil rights for minorities and other liberal positions if pinned down.
So in reality the vast majority has already moved on from gay marriage, pot legalization, for examples, and would side with Democrats more if, once again, pinned down. The problem of course during election time is getting enough of them to the polling station.
