The1992 United States presidential election in Missouri was held on November 3, 1992, as part of the broader1992 United States presidential election in all fifty states and the District of Columbia. Voters chose 11 electors, or representatives to theElectoral College, who voted forPresident andVice-president.
From1904 to2004,Missouri voted for the eventual winner of every presidential election except1956. The state was won in 1992 byGovernor of ArkansasBill Clinton (D) with 44.07 percent of the popular vote, over incumbentPresidentGeorge Herbert Walker Bush (R) with 33.92 percent of the popular vote — the smallest vote share for a Republican since1860 when the party was not seriously contestingslave states outside of theMissouri Rhineland.[1] IndependentRoss Perot performed extremely well for a third-party candidate with 21.69 percent of the popular vote — the best third-party performance in Missouri sinceConstitutional UnionistJohn Bell in that same 1860 election.[1]
The firstpresidential debate was held in St. Louis on October 11.[2]
Bush's failure can be seen in Clinton being the solitary Democrat to win staunchlyUnionist German “Forty-Eighter”Warren County sinceStephen A. Douglas in 1860,[3] and the first Democrat to carry similarly UnionistOzarkHickory County since that same election.[a]
As of the2024 presidential election[update], this remains the last time thatMorgan,Dallas,Howell,Harrison,Adair,Andrew,Johnson,Butler,Atchison,Phelps,Platte,Maries,Stoddard,Pulaski,Dent,Texas, andCarter Counties have voted for a Democratic presidential candidate.[4] It was also the last time that a Democrat carried the state by double digits, the last double-digit win for any candidate until2016, the last time that Missouri has voted to the left of neighboringIowa, and the last time that the state voted more Democratic than the nation as a whole, weighing in at about 4 points more Democratic.
