The 1992 United States presidential election in Alabama took place on November 3, 1992, as part of the 1992 United States presidential election. Voters chose nine representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Alabama was won by President George H. W. Bush (R-TX). The presidential contest in Alabama was not a surprise, with Bush winning 47.65% to 40.88% over Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton (D), a margin of 6.77%. Despite the fact that Clinton was a Southern Democrat, Alabama remained a reliably Republican state. The last Democrat to carry Alabama was Jimmy Carter in 1976, who was also a Southern Democrat.https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/index.html Dave Leip's Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections Billionaire businessman Ross Perot (I-TX) finished in third, with a disappointing 10.85%.
Primary
The Alabama primary was regarded as unimportant as Bill Clinton and George H. W. Bush had already won their party's nominations by the time it was held.Steed Moreland Baker 1994 26
General election
Black Belt Macon County saw Perot receive his smallest vote share in the nation, and that same county also gave Bush his smallest vote share of any county.Dave Leip’s U.S. Election Atlas; 1992 Presidential Election Statistics By contrast, white suburban Shelby County saw Bush receive 67.97% of the vote, a Republican share exceeded in this three-way election only by the famous past and present bastions of Jackson County, Kentucky, Sioux County, Iowa, and the Texas Panhandle counties of Hansford and Ochiltree.
2024 11 As of the 2024 presidential election, this is the last time a Democratic candidate won Lauderdale County, and the last time a Republican won Montgomery County.Sullivan, Robert David; ‘How the Red and Blue Map Evolved Over the Past Century’; America Magazine in The National Catholic Review; June 29, 2016
Bush's 47.65% of the popular vote was his third-highest vote share in the nation, after Mississippi and South Carolina.https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/stats.php?year=1992&f=0&off=0&elect=0 1992 Presidential Election Statistics Dave Leip’s Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections 2018-03-05 Incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Richard Shelby won reelection in the concurrent U.S. Senate election.Steed Moreland Baker 1994 35
