With the vote counting drawing to a close, Mitt Romney is set to end up as 'Mr 47 percent' - the proportion of Americans he infamously branded as 'victims' and 'dependent on the state'.
According to Dave Wasserman of the non-partisan Cook Political Report, with new tallies from Maryland coming in, President Barack Obama has now crossed the threshold of 64 million votes, bringing Romney's national percentage down to 47.56 percent.
Once the counts in the Democratic strongholds of California and New York are completed, it is a virtual certainty that Romney will dip below 47.5 percent meaning that his overall percentage will be round down to 47.
