Source: 1992 United States presidential election in New Jersey

The 1992 United States presidential election in New Jersey took place on November 3, 1992, as part of the 1992 United States presidential election. Voters chose 15 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
New Jersey was won by Governor Bill Clinton (D-Arkansas) with 42.95% of the popular vote over incumbent President George H. W. Bush (R-Texas) with 40.58%, a 2.37% margin of victory. Businessman Ross Perot (I-Texas) finished in third, with 15.61% of the popular vote. Clinton ultimately won the national vote, defeating incumbent President Bush.
At the time New Jersey was still considered a Republican-leaning swing state, and Clinton won very narrowly over President Bush. Clinton's win marked both the first time a Democrat won New Jersey since Lyndon Johnson's landslide win in 1964. Indeed, this was the last time New Jersey voted to the right of its swing state neighbor Pennsylvania.
This was the third time New Jersey voted Democratic since the end of World War II. After this election, despite the very slim margin for this year, the Democrat would always win New Jersey by more than 10 points, except in 2004, when John Kerry's margin was just under 7 points, and 2024, when Harris's margin was just under 6 points.
As of 2024, this is the last election in which Bergen County voted for a Republican presidential candidate. Until 2024, Passaic County would not vote Republican and the Republican candidate would win more counties in the state. In addition, this was also the last presidential election in New Jersey voted to the right of the country as a whole.
