In addition to the butterfly ballots in Florida, which ultimately caused Gore's demise in the 2000 election, it can also be said that Gore pivoting to the left and distancing himself from Clinton did not help. Bush largely campaigned on restoring dignity to the White House, so I guess that was a backdrop on voters' minds.
Largely, Gore shot himself in the foot by not embracing Clinton as much because he knew if he didn't go left he'd lose a lot of voters to Nader. So, it was a barrage of different things that pressed Gore on all fronts.
