Answer 2

If you mean the votes of the general public, there is no set number. In fact it is possible for a candidate to become president even if more people voted for the other candidate. The true vote is in the Electoral College. There are 538 members, so a candidate must get 270 votes to be president. Keep in mind though that if there is a tie electoral college vote, 269 to 269, the House of Representatives will choose who will be president. Looking at it this way, one could say that 269 electoral votes is enough. But only 270 guarantees the win.
