President Bush Claims Powerful Mandate From USA
Citizens To Power Push His Agenda Through To Law
True Mandate?
Media Matters for America Sez:
"With the exception of the 2000 election, Bush's popular
vote margin of about 3.6 million votes (out of approximately
115 million total votes cast) was the smallest since 1976, when
then-Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter (D) defeated President
Gerald R. Ford (R) by about 1.7 million votes.
Though Bush won more votes -- 59.2 million -- than any
presidential candidate in U.S. history, Kerry's vote total -- 55.7
million -- was still greater than any U.S. presidential candidate
in history prior to 2004. That means more Americans cast
their vote against Bush than against any other presidential
candidate in U.S. history.
As Wall Street Journal Washington editor Albert R. Hunt
pointed out on November 4, "It was a GOP sweep, but it also
was the narrowest win for a sitting president since Woodrow
Wilson in 1916."
Percentage-wise, Bush's victory was the narrowest for any
wartime incumbent president in U.S. history.
A Gallup poll conducted just after the election found that 63
percent of voters would prefer to see Bush pursue policies
that "both parties support" compared to only 30 percent who
want Bush to "advance the Republican Party's agenda."
