Polls found that Perot's voters were a 50:50 ratio of Democrats and Republicans. Many of them were disatisfied with the two-party system and wanted a break from it, and for some time Perot led the way in the polls. Perot's campaign was let down by a number of mistakes: at one point he pulled out of the race, and his running mate James Stockdale was seen as being disorientated when he participated in the vice presidential debate.

Nethertheless, Perot won 18% of the popular vote and was able to take part in the presidential debates. However, he did not carry any states or win any electoral votes. Bill Clinton, the most popular candidate, won a decisive victory in the electoral college. Perot got the largest share of the vote in states that were either strongly Democratic or Republican.
