Connecticut was won by GovernorBill Clinton (D-Arkansas) with 42.21% of the popular vote over incumbent President George H. W. Bush (R-Texas) with 35.78%. Businessman Ross Perot (I-Texas) finished in third, with 21.58% of the popular vote. Clinton won Connecticut by a margin of 6.43%. This would be the last time Connecticut was a swing state, voting within 2% of the national margin. From 1996, it would become a Democratic stronghold as it has voted Democratic in every election since.[1] Clinton ultimately won the national vote, defeating incumbent President Bush.[2] Clinton also became the first Democratic presidential candidate since Hubert Humphrey in 1968 to win the state. As of the 2016 presidential election[update], this is the last election in which Fairfield County voted for the Republican candidate.
