According to the Final Exit Poll, Bush must have had 4.5 mm more 2000 votes.


Asssume the Exit Poll result is true:
43% of Bush 2000 voters voted in 2004.

Then working backwards
52.57 million Bush 2000 voters voted in 2004
1.84 million (3.5%) of Bush 2000 voters died
0.50 million (1%) of Bush 2000 voters did not vote

Summing up:
54.91 million voted for Bush in 2000
But his actual 2000 vote was 50.45 million.
A 4.46 million difference (8.84%).

The Exit Poll Margin of Error is 1.0%
