Wisconsin was won by Governor Bill Clinton (D-Arkansas) with 41.13 percent of the popular vote over incumbent President George H. W. Bush (R-Texas) with 36.78 percent. Businessman Ross Perot (I-Texas) finished in third, with 21.51 percent of the popular vote.[1] Clinton ultimately won the national vote, defeating incumbent President Bush.[2]
As of the 2020 presidential election[update], this is the last election in which Florence County voted for a Democratic presidential candidate, and the last time that Door County backed a losing candidate.[3] Despite Clinton's decently solid victory in Wisconsin, it marks his narrowest one in a state that Michael Dukakis won in 1988.
