Elections in Arkansas |

![]() |
The 1992 United States presidential election in Arkansas took place on November 3, 1992, as part of the 1992 United States presidential election. State voters chose six representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Arkansas was won by incumbent Governor Bill Clinton (D) with 53.21% of the popular vote over incumbent President George H. W. Bush (R-Texas) with 35.48%. Businessman Ross Perot (I-Texas) finished in third, with 10.43% of the popular vote. [1] Clinton thus won his home state by a wide margin of 17.73%, becoming the first Democratic candidate to win the state since Jimmy Carter in 1976. Arkansas and Washington, D.C., which Clinton also won, were the only contests in 1992 in which any candidate received an absolute majority of the popular vote.
Clinton carried all but five counties (Benton, Crawford, Pope, Searcy, and Sebastian) in the state. As of the 2020 presidential election [update] , this is the last election in which Baxter County, Carroll County, Newton County, Boone County, and Polk County have voted for a Democratic presidential candidate. [2] This is also the most recent time that Arkansas has voted more Democratic than Maryland. [3] [4]
Arkansas would be one of only three states, along with the District of Columbia, where Clinton's raw vote total exceeded that of Bush and Perot combined, the others being Maryland and New York. This is also the most recent election in which Arkansas trended more Democratic relative to the nation. Clinton's 505,823 votes is the most votes received by a Democratic presidential candidate in the state's history.

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.
The 1992 United States elections elected state governors, the President of the United States, and members of the 103rd United States Congress. The election took place after the Soviet Union crumbled and the Cold War ended, as well as the redistricting that resulted from the 1990 census. Often considered "The Year Of The Woman," these elections brought an increased number of female politicians to Washington such as Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Carol Moseley Braun (D-IL). Governor Bill Clinton of Arkansas defeated incumbent President George H. W. Bush and businessman Ross Perot in the presidential election. The Democratic Party maintained their control of both chambers of Congress. This is the first Democratic trifecta since the Republican victory in the 1980 elections and the last one during the 20th century and the last one overall until 2008.
