It was initially thought that the 1992 Democratic nominee would be a sacrificial lamb, but that turned out not to be the case.
I was 2 at the time but did the thought not cross anyone’s mind that 4 straight terms in the modern era is virtually impossible? They were sick of GOP rule of the White House, look at some of the states he won: Arkansas (2), Louisiana (2), Tennessee (2), Kentucky (2), Montana (1), Arizona (1), Georgia (1)....
According to
these polls, Bush held pretty commanding leads well into the spring of 1992, and then Perot led until summer. It was only by July when Clinton became the polling favorite.
