How much did Bush win Kentucky by in 2000?

I know it's a strange question, but I saw a poll with Bush leading Kerry there 57-41 and I wondered if that 16-point margin is similar to what happened in 2000. I know Bush carried it easily but I'd like some specifics. Thanks!

1. I think Bush beat Gore by 15 points in KY

2. 57-41

Here's a list of all of the results by state:

Edit: 56.5/41.4, to be more accurate

3. The 2000 results were similar . . .

Bush carried the state with 872,492 votes (i.e., 56.50%) to Gore's 638,898 (41.37%). Nader had about 1.5%, I believe.

4. Thanks!

So the margin in the poll almost exactly corresponds to what happened in 2000. Interesting.
