Bush. He had the most electoral votes.

You change the question. Who had the greater number of votes cast in
their favour?

the popular vote is entertaining

I like being entertained. Who had the greater number of votes cast in
their favour. Bush or Gore?

You like being an asshole. I'm not sure about your desire for
entertainment. Let's start by once again reiterating that the popular
vote is meaningless in the US with regard to election of the
President. Constitutionally the process is handled by the Electoral
College.

But, since you continue to ask, I'll tell you. The analysis conducted
in great detail regarding the popular vote for President in 2000 seems
to indicate from a number of independent sources that George W. Bush
received the greater number of popular votes.
