Clinton Bush

The 1992 United States presidential election in Tennessee took place on November 3, 1992, as part of the 1992 United States presidential election. Voters chose 11 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.

Tennessee was won by Governor Bill Clinton (D-Arkansas) with 47.08% of the popular vote over incumbent President George H. W. Bush (R-Texas) with 42.43%. Businessman Ross Perot (I-Texas) finished in third, with 10.09% of the popular vote.

Clinton, from neighboring Arkansas, benefited from having the state's junior U.S. Senator Al Gore as his vice presidential running mate. , this is the last election in which Rutherford County, Sumner County, Wilson County, Lincoln County, Claiborne County, Hardin County, Macon County, Bledsoe County, and Pickett County voted for a Democratic presidential candidate.

Background

The Republican presidential nominee had won Tennessee in every presidential election since 1968 except for Democratic nominee Jimmy Carter's victory in 1976.

Primary

Democratic

Paul Tsongas stated that he was only seeking a strong second-place result as he was campaigning with Bill Clinton's region. Jeff Clark, the director of Bob Kerrey's campaign in the state, criticized Democratic officials in the state for almost entirely endorsing Clinton, but Clark later endorsed Clinton himself.

Clinton selected Al Gore, one of Tennessee's two U.S. Senators, as his running mate.

Republican

Pat Buchanan only visited Tennessee once during the primary while George H. W. Bush and Dan Quayle conducted a combined five visits.

General

The Democrats won their biggest majority since 1976 in the concurrent Tennessee House of Representatives elections.
