VS. 
In the 1992 Presidential election, incumbent President George H.W. Bush faced Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton.
Despite successfully leading the first Gulf War, Bush was hurt by a weak economy and breaking his promise to oppose any new taxes. He was defeated by Clinton, though Clinton did not win a majority of the vote, only a plurality.
Clinton carried 32 states, including Illinois. It was the first time since 1964 that the Republican Presidential candidate did not carry Illinois. Patrick Hughes DID NOT vote in the election.
