W. Bush Republican Party (United States) Bill Clinton Democratic Party (United States) The 1992 United States presidential election in New Jersey took place on November 3, 1992, as part of the 1992 United States presidential election. Voters chose 15 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. New Jersey was won by Governor Bill Clinton (D-Arkansas) with 42.95% of the popular vote over incumbent President George H. W. Bush (R-Texas) with 40.58%, a 2.37% margin of victory. Businessman Ross Perot (I-Texas) finished in third, with 15.61% of the popular vote. Clinton ultimately won the national vote, defeating incumbent President Bush. At the time New Jersey was still considered a Republican-leaning swing state, and Clinton won very narrowly over President Bush. Clinton's win marked the first time a Democrat won New Jersey since Lyndon Johnson's landslide win in 1964.1992 Presidential General Election Results http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/national.php?year=1992 U.S. Election Atlas 8 June 2012 Indeed, this was the last time New Jersey voted to the right of its swing state neighbor Pennsylvania. This was the third time New Jersey voted Democratic since the end of World War II. After this election, despite the very slim margin for this year, the Democrat would always win New Jersey by more than 10 points, except in 2004, when John Kerry's margin was just under 7 points, and 2024, when Kamala Harris's margin was just under 6 points. As of 2024, this is the last presidential race where Bergen County voted Republican. Passaic County would not vote Republican in a presidential race again until 2024. 1992 was also the last presidential race up until 2024 when the Republican candidate would win a majority of the state's counties. In addition, this was also the last presidential election where New Jersey voted to the right of the country as a whole.Sullivan, Robert David; ‘How the Red and Blue Map Evolved Over the Past Century’; America Magazine in The National Catholic Review; June 29, 2016 Results 1992 United States presidential election in New Jersey1992 Presidential General Election Results - New Jersey http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?year=1992&fips=34&f=0&off=0&elect=0&minper=0 U.S. Election Atlas 8 June 2012PartyCandidateVotesPercentageElectoral votes Democratic Bill Clinton 1,436,206 42.95% 15 Republican George H.
