Ummmmm.... No. "Most" of the nation did not vote for him - only about half. (So, we are rewriting history now?) By that measure, only about half the moderates voted for him.

To be fair, by definition, the 50.7% of voters that voted for him mean that, yes, "most" voters voted for Bush.

But of course, since only about 60% of eligible voters actually bothered to vote, that means only about 30% of the country voted for Bush.
