33. in 1992, there were
three viable candidates with money and ads, whcih explains why Clinton's percentage in a vacuum was smaller in 1992 and 1996. But he did not lose by as much compared to his GOP counterpart. Elections are not about %'s in vacuums. The only people who do that are people looking to spin. Also, I'll remind you exit polls in both 1992 http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9E0CE0DB1F3FF936A35752C1A964958260 and http://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/1996/elections/natl.exit.poll/index1.html 1996 showed Perot did NOT take from only the GOP. Clinton had as much of the white vote in a three way race in 1996 as Obama in a two way race. Obama got rocked amongst white voters.
