Where did bush get 20 million extra votes from 2000 to 2004?

Bush is said to have received 62 million votes in 2004.

Bush received 45.8 million votes in 2000.

Of those 45.8M about 3.8 million voted for Kerry, leaving Bush with 42M voters from 2000.

So somehow Bush got over 20 million new voters to vote for him in 2004.
Or so it is said.

And the Democratic Party leader - John Kerry- received only 18 million of the 38M new voters in 2004?

Well now, that just doesn't seem to be able to be explained; Indeed, the raw numbers from the exit polls contraindicate that difference.

And plain common sense tells ya Bush wasn't that well liked, and taking into consideration the huge democratic turnout in 2004, it makes ya wonder, doesn't it?
