Oklahoma was won by incumbent President George H. W. Bush (R-Texas) with 42.65 percent of the popular vote over GovernorBill Clinton (D-Arkansas) with 34.02 percent. Businessman Ross Perot (I-Texas) finished in third, with 23.01 percent 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[update], this is the last election in which Beckham County, Delaware County, Washita County, and Stephens County voted for a Democratic presidential candidate.[3] This was the first time that the Democrats won the White House without Jackson County and the first time since Oklahoma statehood that a losing Republican managed to carry any of the 10 counties bordering the Red River. This is the most recent time that a Democrat has carried a majority of Oklahoma's counties in a presidential election.
