The 1992 United States presidential election in Nebraska took place on November 3, 1992, as part of the 1992 United States presidential election. Voters chose five representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Nebraska was won by incumbent President George H. W. Bush (R-Texas) with 46.58% of the popular vote over Governor Bill Clinton (D-Arkansas) with 29.40%. Businessman Ross Perot (I-Texas) finished in third, with 23.63% of the popular vote.[1] Clinton ultimately won the national vote, defeating both incumbent President Bush and Perot.[2]
With 46.58% of the popular vote, Nebraska would prove to be Bush's fourth strongest state in the 1992 election after Mississippi, South Carolina and Alabama.[3] It was also Bush's best performance as far as margin of victory, defeating Clinton by 17.18%.
Despite Perot Finishing third, He was able to handily defeat Clinton for second place in 70 of Nebraska's 93 Counties.[4]Perot also came within 5.8 percent of defeating Clinton for second place.
This was the first election in which Nebraska split its electoral votes proportionally similar to Maine, although a split in the electoral votes in Nebraska wouldn't happen for the first time until 2008
