The 1992 United States presidential election in New Mexico took place on November 3, 1992, as part of the 1992 United States presidential election. State voters chose five electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
New Mexico was won by Governor Bill Clinton (D-Arkansas) with 45.90 percent of the popular vote over incumbent President George H.W. Bush (R-Texas) with 37.34 percent. Businessman Ross Perot (I-Texas) finished third, with 16.12 percent of the popular vote. Clinton ultimately won the national vote, defeating incumbent President Bush.1992 Presidential General Election Results http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/national.php?year=1992 U.S. Election Atlas 9 June 2012
As a result of his win, Clinton became the first Democratic presidential candidate since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964 to win the state. However, this election marked a major shift in the state's politics, and New Mexico would vote Democratic for every election after this, except in 2004, when Bush's son George W. Bush very narrowly won the state over John Kerry.
This was the 20th U.S. presidential election that New Mexico participated in since 1912.
