Elections in Arizona

Arizona was won by incumbent President George H. W. Bush (R-Texas) with 38.47% of the popular vote over Governor Bill Clinton (D-Arkansas) with 36.52%. Businessman Ross Perot (I-Texas) finished in third, with 23.79% of the popular vote.[1] Clinton ultimately won the national vote, defeating incumbent President Bush. Bush very narrowly won in Arizona by a margin of 1.95%, and Clinton went on to win the state four years later narrowly over Bob Dole.[2]

In achieving the best performance by a Democrat in Arizona since Lyndon Johnson's landslide in 1964 – when Barry Goldwater held the state by five thousand votes due to a "favorite son" vote in the Phoenix metropolitan area – Clinton broke some notable county droughts. He placed Cochise County in the Democratic camp for the first time since 1964 and last to date,[3] Pima County and Santa Cruz County also voted Democratic for the first time since 1964, whilst Flagstaff's Coconino County voted Democratic for the first time since Harry S. Truman carried it in 1948. These three counties have since stayed reliably Democratic in presidential elections.[4]
