"Technically" speaking, he did get a mandate.

Merriam-Webster website, "Mandate: 2 (noun) an authorization to act given to a representative"

But I think most people have put a lot more emotion into this word then the text-book description.  Under the 'loaded' verison, no.

Bush received a simple majority of the votes, PV and EV.  This was not a 'mandate of the masses'.
