Clinton won with 42.7% in 1992
Clinton got 49.2% in 1996 which tore him up because he is doomed to be known forever as never having won by a majority.
Remember those percentages when you hear him described as the political genius of our times.
Bush got 47.9% in 2000 and 50.7% in 2004 which will haunt Clinton for the rest of his life because By defeating Gore in 2000 it repudiated Clinton's "legacy", and Bush broke 50%.
Before Clinton it was Reagan 50.7% in 1980, then Reagan an astounding 58.8% in 1984, then Reagan's legacy vote George H. W. Bush 53.4% in 1988.
