Florida held an election for president of the United States on November 3, 1992. The race was extremely close -- so close in fact that some news networks mistakenly reported that Democratic challenger Bill Clinton had won in the state, although incumbent President George H. W. Bush was eventually declared the winner. The final result in Florida reflected the reluctance of many Southern states to back Clinton, although Clinton was polling well in other parts of the country. President Bush very narrowly won in Florida by a margin of 1.89%, making it the first time it had backed the losing candidate since 1960, when it voted for Richard Nixon over John F. Kennedy.
