Idaho was won by incumbent President George H. W. Bush (R-Texas) with 42.03% of the popular vote over Governor Bill Clinton (D-Arkansas) with 28.42%. Businessman Ross Perot (I-Texas) finished in a close third, with 27.05% of the popular vote.[1] Clinton ultimately won the national vote, defeating both incumbent President Bush and Perot.[2] As of the 2020 presidential election, this is the last election in which Bonner County, Clearwater County, Lewis County, and Benewah County gave a plurality to a Democratic presidential candidate.[3]
With 27.05 percent of the popular vote, Idaho would prove to be Perot's fourth strongest state after Maine, Alaska and Utah.[4] This election is the second of only two elections since Idaho's statehood in which it did not vote the same as neighboring Montana, the other being its first election 100 years prior.
In Franklin County, Clinton was a mere 22 votes away from placing 4th behind Independent candidate, Bo Gritz who himself scored 12.40%, his strongest county in the entire state.
