The 1992 United States presidential election in Arizona took place on November 3, 1992, as part of the 1992 United States presidential election. Voters chose eight representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Arizona was won by incumbent President George H. W. Bush (R-Texas) with 38.5% of the popular vote over Governor Bill Clinton (D-Arkansas) with 36.5%. Businessman Ross Perot (I-Texas) finished in third, with 23.8% of the popular vote.https://azmemory.azlibrary.gov/nodes/view/102689 State of Arizona Official Canvass General Election - November 3, 1992 Arizona Secretary of State 2024-07-30 Clinton ultimately won the national vote, defeating incumbent President Bush.

In achieving the best performance by a Democrat in Arizona since Lyndon Johnson's landslide in 1964 – when Barry Goldwater held the state by five thousand votes due to a "favorite son" vote in the Phoenix metropolitan area – Clinton broke some notable county droughts. He placed Cochise County in the Democratic camp for the first time since 1964 and last to date,Sullivan, Robert David; ‘How the Red and Blue Map Evolved Over the Past Century’; America Magazine in The National Catholic Review; June 29, 2016 Pima County and Santa Cruz County also voted Democratic for the first time since 1964, whilst Flagstaff's Coconino County voted Democratic for the first time since Harry S. Truman carried it in 1948. These three counties have since stayed reliably Democratic in presidential elections.Menendez, Albert J.; The Geography of Presidential Elections in the United States, 1868–2004, p. 148 0786422173
