Yes to a point. More accurately he was elected by the majority of those who voted.
He in no way represents the real majority.
The gay marriage issue just happened to be rammed through the political and judicial system and does not represent the way the real majority of Americans feel.
If there were a nation wide referendum on the subject of the definition, the real majority would have defeated what has been done recently.
So it is helpful to define the participation of select events.

One political party is totally out of touch with reality. The polls are always skewed, the wrong people voted, the wrong questions were asked, but this one may take the cake. To repeat the quote "the president was elected by the majority of those who voted". As if this is a bad thing and not the way things have been done since this country was founded and the way countries around the world count their votes.
This particular party needs to ask itself why have we lost the popular vote in five of the last six presidential elections, and what can we do to turn this around, and why have we lost the women's vote every year since 1988. There is still time to do some soul searching before the next presidential election.
