In the 1992 presidential election, President George H.W. Bush stood for reelection. He had received strong support for the way he had handled foreign relations during his term in office, but the economy was slumped. Bush had the confidence of the Republican party, which nominated him for reelection. The Democrats nominated young Arkansas Governor, Bill Clinton, as their candidate. A wealthy oil-businessman named H. Ross Perot also ran as an independent. The candidates conducted a firm and long campaign and appeared in several live televised Presidential Debates. Clinton won a majority of the Electoral College despite receiving only a plurality of the popular vote.
