Clinton enjoyed a relatively easy victory in November and became the first Democratic President to be elected to two terms in office since [[Franklin Roosevelt]] in 1936.  The public showed little interest in the scandals the Clinton [[administration]] was responsible for, such as [[Whitewater]] and Travelgate.  He ran on a moderate platform of [[welfare]] reform and smaller government, similar to the way he portrayed himself as a moderate in the [[United States presidential election, 1992|1992 election]].  The disasterous path of his first two years was forgotten.<ref>http://www.pbs.org/newshour/debatingourdestiny/1996.html</ref>

Bob Dole promised a 15 percent tax cut, but with a healthy economy that was not a high priority for voters. The press made an issue out of Dole's age and accused him of being 'mean'. Dole, a [[World War II]] veteran who had permanent battle injuries, was reluctant to play off of his war record.  Bill Clinton, of course, had avoided military service.  President Clinton was re-elected with a [[majority]] of the [[Electoral College]] votes but only received a [[plurality]] of the popular vote, similar to his 1992 election.

The election is notable for having the lowest percentage of voter turnout (49.1%) since 1924.
