Oregon was won by Governor Bill Clinton (D-Arkansas) with 42.48% of the popular vote over incumbent President George H. W. Bush (R-Texas) with 32.53%. Businessman Ross Perot (I-Texas) finished in third, with 24.21% of the popular vote.[1] Clinton ultimately won the national vote, defeating incumbent President Bush.[2]
As of the 2020 presidential election[update], this is the last time that Curry and Jefferson counties have voted for the Democratic nominee.[3] It was also the first election since 1888 when Crook County had not backed the winning candidate, although Bush's margin was less than 200 votes and was only a plurality. Nevertheless, this would mark the county becoming a Republican bastion.[4] Deschutes County, which was narrowly won by Clinton via plurality, would not vote for a Democrat again until 2020.
