Election Facts
- While Bush took credit for the fall of the Soviet Union, he could no longer use hawkish Cold War policies as a counter to the Democrats.
- Bush reneged on his promise of no new taxes. His popularity after his Iraq War victory plummeted as national attention focused on domestic issues.
- Third-party candidate Ross Perot stoked voter dissatisfaction with Bush.
- Clinton directed his campaign toward women and the "forgotten" middle class. He reached voters through non-traditional media.
- Bush criticized Clinton's character but his own credibility was questioned.
