The 1992 United States presidential election in Florida took place on November 3, 1992, as part of the 1992 United States presidential election.
Following World War II, the Democratic presidential nominee had only won Florida in 1948, 1964, and 1976.
Florida gained four seats in the United States House of Representatives as a result of the 1990 United States census.
Florida was the only southern state on Super Tuesday where Bill Clinton received less than 60% of the vote. Paul Tsongas spent $500,000 on television ads.
Jack Gargan formed Throw the Hypocritical Rascals Out in May 1991, and he helped form the movement to draft Ross Perot. Over 230,000 signatures were collected and Perot was qualified to appear on the ballot on May 27, 1992.
Bush won by about 100,000 votes, marking the first time Florida had backed the losing candidate since 1960, when it voted for Richard Nixon over John F. Kennedy. This was also the last time until the 2020 election that Florida would back the loser of the presidential election as well only the second time since 1924. Despite Bush's narrow victory, this election marked the start of Florida's transition from a strong GOP state into a closely divided swing state for future presidential elections; just four years earlier Bush had carried Florida by 22 points, making it his second-best state in the South. Florida was one of five states that gave Perot more than 1 million votes, including California, Texas, New York, and Ohio.
Clinton flipped the heavily populated South Florida counties of Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade, which had all voted for Bush in 1988, into the Democratic column, and they remained reliable Democratic bastions in the state until the early 2020s, buoying Democratic base support in the state. Clinton's victory in Palm Beach County was noteworthy in as much as that county had not previously backed a Democratic presidential nominee since Florida's "Solid South" days when Franklin D. Roosevelt swept all sixty-seven counties in 1944. Pinellas County voted Democratic for the first time since 1964. This was the last time St. Lucie County voted for a Republican presidential candidate until 2016.
Democratic U.S. Senator Bob Graham won reelection in the concurrent U.S. Senate election. The Republicans gained three seats in the Florida House of Representatives and one seat in the Florida Senate.
Counties that flipped from Republican to Democratic
Bush carried 13 of the 23 congressional districts.
