The1992 United States presidential election in Kansas took place on November 3, 1992, as part of the1992 United States presidential election. Voters chose six representatives, or electors to theElectoral College, who voted forpresident andvice president.
Kansas was won by incumbent PresidentGeorge H. W. Bush (R-Texas) with 38.88% of the popular vote overGovernorBill Clinton (D-Arkansas) with 33.74%. BusinessmanRoss Perot (I-Texas) finished in third, with 26.99% of the popular vote. Kansas was surprisingly close, likely becauseRoss Perot split the vote. Had Clinton won in Kansas, it would have been a major upset victory. Notably. ABC News called Kansas for Clinton incorrectly before rescinding the call.[1] Clinton ultimately won the national vote, defeating incumbent President Bush and Perot.[2] As of the2024 presidential election[update], this is the last election in which Kansas was decided by single digits and the last time thatEllis County,Cherokee County,Leavenworth County,Labette County, andMiami County voted for a Democratic presidential candidate,[3] as well as the last election in whichWabaunsee County,Anderson County,Jefferson County, andMorris County (the four counties Perot either won or tied in) did not support the Republican candidate.[3] This is the closest the Democrats have come since 1964 to winning Kansas.
With 26.99% of the popular vote, Kansas would prove to be Perot's fifth-strongest state afterMaine,Alaska,Utah andIdaho. Perot took third in the state overall but defeated Clinton or Bush for second place in 63 of Kansas's 105 counties.[1]
