Agreed you can't just look at the current vote totals and think that would happen if the method was the popular vote.

In fact, we have no idea who doesnt vote now because they feel it's pointless. It would be the same situation in states like LA and TX as it would be in NYC and Chicago.

Not to mention that candidates would campaign differently. I don think Trump or Hillary spent any time in CA because they knew which way it was going. Given the large population they would have both spent a considerable amount of time there under a popular vote system and much less time in some other state.
