Nader shrugs off the spoiler moniker, saying a large portion of his supporters would not have voted at all and some would have gone for Bush.

According to exit polls at the time, 47 percent of Nader voters said they would have voted for Gore if only Gore and Bush had been on the ballot, 21 percent would have backed Bush and 30 percent said they would not have voted. The poll on Nader voters had a sampling error of plus or minus 8 percentage points.
