And I think that only Clinton could have won in 1992, and even then only narrowly, after a combination of factors had worked in his favor (recession, Perot, No New Taxes, etc.)

For most of 1992, George HW Bush had an approval rating of 40% or less and a disapproval rating of 50% or more. Any half competent nominee, including John Kerry, would have won.

And to completely destroy the myth that we needed Clinton to win in 1992, in this poll Tsongas led Bush by 5, while Clinton led by only 2.
