A swing state, Nevada was narrowly won by incumbent Democratic President Bill Clinton. Clinton took a 43.93% plurality of the popular vote over Republican challenger Bob Dole, who took 42.91%, a victory margin of 1.02%. Reform Party candidate Ross Perot finished in third, with 9.47% of the popular vote.[1]
As of the 2020 presidential election[update], this is the last presidential election in which any candidate won Nevada without carrying Washoe County, and the last time Mineral County voted Democratic.[2] Clinton became the first Democrat to win the White House without carrying White Pine County since Grover Cleveland in 1892.
