W. Bush Republican Party (United States) Bill Clinton Democratic Party (United States) The 1992 United States presidential election in Missouri was held on November 3, 1992, as part of the broader 1992 United States presidential election in all fifty states and the District of Columbia. Voters chose 11 electors, or representatives to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice-president. From 1904 to 2004, Missouri voted for the eventual winner of every presidential election except 1956. The state was won in 1992 by Governor of Arkansas Bill Clinton (D) with 44.07 percent of the popular vote, over incumbent President George Herbert Walker Bush (R) with 33.92 percent of the popular vote — the smallest vote share for a Republican since 1860 when the party was not seriously contesting slave states outside of the Missouri Rhineland.Dave Leip’s U.S. Election Atlas; Presidential General Election Results Comparison – Missouri Independent Ross Perot performed extremely well for a third-party candidate with 21.69 percent of the popular vote — the best third-party performance in Missouri since Constitutional Unionist John Bell in that same 1860 election. Campaign The first presidential debate was held in St. Louis on October 11.Abramson Aldrich Rohde 1995 56 Bush's failure can be seen in Clinton being the solitary Democrat to win staunchly Unionist German “Forty-Eighter” Warren County since Stephen A. Douglas in 1860,Menendez, Albert J.; The Geography of Presidential Elections in the United States, 1868-2004, p. 115 0786422173 and the first Democrat to carry similarly Unionist Ozark Hickory County since that same election.Unlike Warren County, Hickory County would also back Clinton against Bob Dole in 1996. 2024 11 As of the 2024 presidential election, this remains the last time that Morgan, Dallas, Howell, Harrison, Adair, Andrew, Johnson, Butler, Atchison, Phelps, Platte, Maries, Stoddard, Pulaski, Dent, Texas, and Carter Counties have voted for a Democratic presidential candidate.Sullivan, Robert David; ‘How the Red and Blue Map Evolved Over the Past Century’; America Magazine in The National Catholic Review; June 29, 2016 It was also the last time that a Democrat carried the state by double digits, the last double-digit win for any candidate until 2016, the last time that Missouri has voted to the left of neighboring Iowa, and the last time that the state voted more Democratic than the nation as a whole, weighing in at about 4 points more Democratic.
