Connecticut was won by GovernorBill Clinton (D-Arkansas) with 42.21% of the popular vote over incumbent President George H. W. Bush (R-Texas) with 35.78%. Businessman Ross Perot (I-Texas) finished in third, with 21.58% of the popular vote. Clinton won Connecticut by a margin of 6.43%, marking the first time the state voted for a Democratic presidential nominee since 1968. It would be the last time Connecticut was regarded as a swing state, as it has voted Democratic by double digits in every election since.[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 Fairfield County voted for the Republican candidate.
