Numerous candidates entered the <a href="/wiki/Republican_Party_presidential_primaries,_1996" class="mw-redirect" title="Republican Party presidential primaries, 1996">1996 Republican primaries</a>, with Dole considered the early frontrunner. Dole clinched the nomination after defeating challenges by publisher <a href="/wiki/Steve_Forbes" title="Steve Forbes">Steve Forbes</a> and <a href="/wiki/Paleoconservatism" title="Paleoconservatism">paleoconservative</a> leader <a href="/wiki/Pat_Buchanan" title="Pat Buchanan">Pat Buchanan</a>.

Perot received less media attention in 1996 and was excluded from the <a href="/wiki/1996_United_States_presidential_debates" title="1996 United States presidential debates">presidential debates</a>. </p><p>Clinton's chances of winning were initially considered slim in the middle of his term, as his party had lost both the <a href="/wiki/United_States_House_of_Representatives" title="United States House of Representatives">House of Representatives</a> and the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Senate" title="United States Senate">Senate</a> in <a href="/wiki/1994_United_States_elections" title="1994 United States elections">1994</a> for the first time in decades.

Clinton tied Dole to <a href="/wiki/Newt_Gingrich" title="Newt Gingrich">Newt Gingrich</a>, the unpopular Republican speaker of the House, and warned that Republicans would increase the <a href="/wiki/National_debt_of_the_United_States" title="National debt of the United States">deficit</a> and slash spending on popular programs like <a href="/wiki/Social_Security_(United_States)" title="Social Security (United States)">Social Security</a> and <a href="/wiki/Medicare_(United_States)" title="Medicare (United States)">Medicare</a>. Dole promised an across-the-board 15% reduction in <a href="/wiki/Income_tax_in_the_United_States" title="Income tax in the United States">federal income taxes</a> and labeled Clinton as a member of the "spoiled" <a href="/wiki/Baby_Boomer" class="mw-redirect" title="Baby Boomer">Baby Boomer</a> generation. Dole's age was a persistent issue in the election, and gaffes by Dole exacerbated the issue for his campaign. </p><p>On election day, Clinton defeated Dole by a wide margin, winning 379 electors to Dole's 159 and taking 49.2% of the national popular vote to Dole's 40.7%. As in 1992, Perot's strong candidacy held both major party candidates below 50% nationwide. Notably, Clinton's strength with many southern and rural whites makes him the last Democrat to carry the states of <a href="/wiki/Kentucky" title="Kentucky">Kentucky</a>, <a href="/wiki/Louisiana" title="Louisiana">Louisiana</a>, <a href="/wiki/West_Virginia" title="West Virginia">West Virginia</a>, <a href="/wiki/Arkansas" title="Arkansas">Arkansas</a>, <a href="/wiki/Missouri" title="Missouri">Missouri</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Tennessee" title="Tennessee">Tennessee</a> in a presidential election.

It is the most recent election in which the Democratic presidential nominee never served as a senator. This is also the only presidential election between <a href="/wiki/1980_United_States_presidential_election" title="1980 United States presidential election">1980</a> and <a href="/wiki/2004_United_States_presidential_election" title="2004 United States presidential election">2004</a> in which a <a href="/wiki/Bush_family" title="Bush family">Bush</a> did not appear on the Republican ticket, the last winning Democratic ticket that did not have <a href="/wiki/Joe_Biden" title="Joe Biden">Joe Biden</a> on it, and the most recent election when the Republican candidate would win fewer than 20 states.

Pennsylvania and Michigan both voted Democratic, and would remain in the Democratic presidential fold until <a href="/wiki/2016_United_States_presidential_election" title="2016 United States presidential election">2016</a>. </p><p>Although Clinton's margin of victory in the popular vote was slightly greater than that of <a href="/wiki/George_H._W._Bush" title="George H. W. Bush">George H.W. Bush</a> <a href="/wiki/1988_United_States_presidential_election" title="1988 United States presidential election">eight years prior</a>, he won fewer states, in part due to his relatively poor performance in areas of low population density – a precursor of the trend where future Democratic contenders for the presidency perform very well in populous metropolitan areas but vastly underperform in rural counties. </p><p>Reform Party nominee <a href="/wiki/Ross_Perot" title="Ross Perot">Ross Perot</a> won approximately 8% of the popular vote. His vote total was less than half of his performance in 1992. The 1996 national exit poll showed that just as in 1992,<sup id="cite_ref-23" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Perot drew supporters from Clinton and Dole equally.<sup id="cite_ref-autogenerated1_24-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-autogenerated1-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In polls directed at Perot voters as to who would be a second choice, Clinton consistently held substantial leads.<sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Perot's best showing was in states that tended to strongly favor either Clinton (such as Maine) or Dole (particularly Montana, though the margin of victory there was much closer). Perot once again received his lowest amount of support in the South. </p><p>Although Clinton is a native of Arkansas and his running mate hailed from Tennessee, the Democratic ticket carried just four of the eleven states of the <a href="/wiki/Confederate_States_of_America" title="Confederate States of America">former Confederacy</a> (and of those four only Florida and Georgia have voted Democratic in any election since). As such, Clinton's 1992 run was tied for the weakest performance in the region by a nationally successful Democratic presidential candidate up until that point. Clinton's performance both followed and preceded a substantial decline in support for the Democratic Party in the South; in the <a href="/wiki/2000_United_States_presidential_election" title="2000 United States presidential election">2000</a> and <a href="/wiki/2004_United_States_presidential_election" title="2004 United States presidential election">2004 elections</a>, the Democrats would fail to carry even one of the former Confederate states, contributing to their defeat both times. This completed the Republican takeover of the American South, a region in which Democrats had held a near monopoly from <a href="/wiki/1880_United_States_presidential_election" title="1880 United States presidential election">1880</a> to 1948. In <a href="/wiki/2008_United_States_presidential_election" title="2008 United States presidential election">2008</a>, the Democrats were able to win three former Confederate states (<a href="/wiki/United_States_presidential_elections_in_Virginia" title="United States presidential elections in Virginia">Virginia</a>, <a href="/wiki/United_States_presidential_elections_in_North_Carolina" title="United States presidential elections in North Carolina">North Carolina</a>, and <a href="/wiki/United_States_presidential_elections_in_Florida" title="United States presidential elections in Florida">Florida</a>), however this was still a worse performance than either of Clinton's. Since <a href="/wiki/1984_United_States_presidential_election" title="1984 United States presidential election">1984</a>, no winning presidential candidate has surpassed Bill Clinton's 8.5 percent popular vote margin, or his 220 electoral vote margin since <a href="/wiki/1988_United_States_presidential_election" title="1988 United States presidential election">1988</a>. Additionally, since <a href="/wiki/1964_United_States_presidential_election" title="1964 United States presidential election">1964</a>, no other Democratic presidential candidate has surpassed Clinton's electoral vote margin and, except <a href="/wiki/Lyndon_B._Johnson" title="Lyndon B. Johnson">Lyndon B. Johnson</a> in that election, no Democratic presidential candidate has surpassed Clinton's 8.5 percentage popular vote margin since 1940. </p><p>The election also marked the first time in U.S. history that the winner was elected without winning the male vote, the third time in U.S. history that a candidate won two terms as president without winning a majority either time (after <a href="/wiki/Grover_Cleveland" title="Grover Cleveland">Grover Cleveland</a> and <a href="/wiki/Woodrow_Wilson" title="Woodrow Wilson">Woodrow Wilson</a>, both Democrats).<sup id="cite_ref-autogenerated1_24-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-autogenerated1-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Clinton also remains the last presidential candidate of either party to win at least one county in every state.<sup id="cite_ref-26" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Clinton maintained a consistent polling edge over Dole, and he won re-election with a substantial margin in the popular vote and the <a href="/wiki/Electoral_College_(United_States)" class="mw-redirect" title="Electoral College (United States)">Electoral College</a>. Clinton became the first Democrat since <a href="/wiki/Franklin_D._Roosevelt" title="Franklin D. Roosevelt">Franklin D. Roosevelt</a> to win two consecutive presidential elections. Dole won 40.7% of the popular vote and 159 electoral votes, while Perot won 8.4% of the popular vote. Despite Dole's defeat, the Republican Party was able to maintain majorities in both the <a href="/wiki/United_States_House_of_Representatives_elections,_1996" class="mw-redirect" title="United States House of Representatives elections, 1996">House of Representatives</a> and the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Senate_elections,_1996" class="mw-redirect" title="United States Senate elections, 1996">Senate</a>.

It was also the first time most Arizona voters chose a Democratic candidate since <a href="/wiki/1948_United_States_presidential_election" title="1948 United States presidential election">1948</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-27" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>27<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> which they would not do again until 2020.

This is also the most recent time a third-party candidate finished with over 5% of the vote nationwide. This is the last time a Democratic president was re-elected with a higher share of the electoral or popular vote, while also being the last time when an incumbent Democratic candidate would flip any states (Arizona, and Florida in this instance) which they failed to win in their previous election bid. </p> <table class="wikitable"> <caption>Electoral results </caption> <tbody><tr> <th
