H. Ross Perot received 19% of the popular votes for President in 1992. William Clinton won the 1992 presidential election defeating incumbent President George Bush and independent candidate H. Ross Perot. In the 1992 presidential election William Clinton received 370 electoral votes and George Bush received 168 electoral votes. The popular vote totals were Clinton 44,908,254 and Bush 39,102,343. Independent candidate H. Ross Perot received 19,741,065 popular votes for President, but no electoral votes although he did finish second in the state of Utah - behind Bush and ahead of Clinton. There has been speculation Clinton issued the executive order banning the mining of low-sulfur coal in Utah on federal lands as a retaliation for that humiliation. He also came in 2nd in Maine - behind Clinton and slightly ahead of Bush.
