Well, he didn't either morally or constitutionally (Florida's electoral votes were stolen). But since what you're asking is how it was close enough for Bush to steal - the short answer is that Bush was far more likeable than Al Gore, people were tired of the Democrats because of Clinton's sleaziness, and Bush campaigned on basically continuing the Clinton policies with added tax cuts.
It's worth noting that at the start of the campaign Gore was virtually losing the entire country to Bush so the fact that it got so close toward the end is fairly surprising.
