Best Answer

Although Bill Clinton received only about 43% of the popular votes in 1992 and about 49% in 1996, in both cases he clearly received more than any other candidate. In '92, the votes for George Bush and Ross Perot totaled about 56%, which is why many people believe Bush would have won reelection if Perot hadn't split the Republican votes.

In 1992, Bill Clinton beat George H. W. Bush 370 to 168, and in 1996 he beat Bob Dole 379 to 159.
