I recall those who said President Clinton received a mandate in '96 despite not receiving a majority of popular votes. If Clinton had a mandate then I would have to say Bush received one yesterday.

Clinton's mandate was more in the weakness of the opposition than the strength of his own position. Bush had a bigger victory by 2 points, but Kerry got about 8 points more than Dole.
