Main article: 1992 United States presidential election

47.64% (of voting age population) Bush Clinton Perot The 1992 United States presidential election in Texas took place on November 3, 1992, as part of the 1992 United States presidential election. Voters chose 32 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.

Texas was won by incumbent President George H. W. Bush (R-Texas) with 40.56% of the popular vote over Governor Bill Clinton (D-Arkansas) with 37.08%. Businessman Ross Perot (I-Texas) finished in third, with 22.01% of the popular vote. Clinton ultimately won the national vote, defeating Bush. He thereby became the first Democrat to win a presidential election without Texas since its statehood in 1845. Despite Bush's ties to the state, this is the closest since 1976 that Texas has come to voting for a Democratic presidential candidate. It has since become a cornerstone of the Republican electoral coalition. 1992 was the first election in which Texas provided the Republican nominee with his largest raw vote margin in the nation, a distinction the state held in every subsequent election until 2020, when Texas's raw vote margin was exceeded by Tennessee's.

Texas was one of the few states in the U.S. where Ross Perot won any counties, namely Irion, Somervell, Grayson, and Loving. Perot was the first non-major party candidate to win any Texas counties since George Wallace in 1968. , this is the last time these four aforementioned counties have not voted Republican, and the last time a non-major party candidate won any of Texas's counties. Loving County, which was the country's least populous in 1992, gave Perot his best performance in the country, earning 46.88% of the vote. In contrast, and more typically in modern American politics, Starr County was Clinton's strongest outside the District of Columbia, and one of only two to give him over 80% of the vote, the other being Macon County, Alabama, while the Panhandle counties of Hansford and Ochiltree were the third and fourth-strongest for Bush nationwide, behind the famous bastions of Jackson County, Kentucky, and Sioux County, Iowa.

The 1992 election marked the last time (through the 2024 election) that a Democratic presidential candidates carried any of the following counties: Crockett, Concho, McCulloch, Coleman, Mills, Throckmorton, Briscoe, Hill, Freestone, Henderson, Jack, Clay, Montague, Franklin, Lamar, Upshur, Angelina, Hardin, Liberty, Madison, Polk, San Jacinto, and Houston. Hays County, which Clinton won in 1992, would not vote Democratic again until 2020.

Background

At this point in history no Democratic presidential nominee had won without also winning Texas.

The Democrats regained the Texas governorship with Ann Richards's victory in the 1990 election.

Texas was suffering economically due a collapse in the price of oil in the mid-1980s and taxes had been raised by the state legislature nearly every year since 1984.

Primary

Richards served as permanent chair of the 1992 Democratic National Convention.

Campaign

Garry Mauro was the chair of Clinton's campaign in Texas. James C. Oberwetter was the chair of Bush's campaign in Texas. The FBI conducted a sting operation against Oberwetter in order to determine the validity of Perot's allegations of the Republicans spying on him. A FBI agent offered to sell an audio tape and documents from Perot's office to Oberwetter for $2,500.

Ross Perot, who had not announced his campaign yet, qualified to appear on the ballot in Texas on May 27, 1992. He remained on the ballot despite dropping out. Polling by the Austin American-Statesman after Perot dropped out showed a majority of his supporters going to Clinton. After dropping out Perot was courted by the Republicans, using U.S. Senator Phil Gramm, and Democrats, using U.S. Senator Lloyd Bentsen. He reentered the race on October 1.
