Its the largest % of the popular vote any president has gotten since 1988.

<<and a majority think we are headed in the wrong direction>>

Apparently not

<<So that is not a mandate for current policy>>

Bush leads by 3,708,620 votes. Bush received more votes than
any president in history. Bush is the first president to win
more than 50% of the popular vote since his dad won in 1988.
