Election Summary
- The Winner: Bill Clinton (Democrat) secured 370 electoral votes (68.8%), flipping many traditionally Republican strongholds.
- The Incumbent: George H.W. Bush (Republican) dropped from 426 electoral votes in 1988 to just 168 in 1992 (31.2%).
- The Perot Factor: Ross Perot (Reform) won 18.8% of the popular vote (19,722,042 votes), the strongest third-party showing since Theodore Roosevelt in 1912. While he won no electoral votes, he impacted the margins in nearly every state.
- California’s Ascent: California reached a new height of 54 electoral votes (up from 47 in 1988) and flipped to the Democratic column for the first time since 1964, beginning its modern role as a “Blue” cornerstone.
- Democratic Gains: Clinton broke the Republican “lock” on the South by winning states like Georgia, Louisiana, and his home state of Arkansas.
