3. There was a lot of disapproval over the Iraq War and criticism over the war made Kerry get a lot of momentum. Also don't forget the Bin Laden tape. Without it theres a chance that Kerry either barely wins the popular vote or barely loses the popular vote but swing enough states to become President. Also the economy by 2004 was shaky. by the end of 2004 the economy finally recovered from the 2001 recession. Had the economy recovered earlier then bush's margin would be probably up to 5%. And then you consider the debates. George Bush did bad in the first debate and less bad in the second and third which gave Kerry the momentum to cut into the huge lead after the republican convention when Bush's net was 5-6%.
