I think you forget about the people that didnt voted to anyone, which is 
in the almost all democratic countries the biggest group of population. 
So i guess if you check which porcentage of all the people who has USA 
citizenship and voted Bush it will come down to a rather small number 
... maybe 15% (i am guessing, i know that last elections in USA had the 
biggest number of votes ever)

and then, when you say "americans" do you mean too people from canada, 
brazil, mexico, nicaragua, uruguay, haiti etc...? America is a huge 
continent, well you probably know that better than me i live on the 
other side of the atlantic sea.

I didnt want to be rude or start any argument with this last point, i am 
the first that says "americans" when talking about usa citizens but i 
always try to be correct myself. I dont find it fair with the rest of 
the "americans".
