Indiana was won by President George H. W. Bush (R-TX) and his running mate Vice President and former Indiana Senator Dan Quayle. The presidential contest in Indiana was not a surprise, with Bush winning 42.91% to 36.79% over Governor Bill Clinton (D).[1] Still, the margin of victory was lesser than in earlier elections, whilst Clinton won in every state bordering Indiana.[2] Billionaire businessman Ross Perot (I-TX) finished in third, with a significant 19.77% of the popular vote in Indiana. Indiana would continue to vote Republican in presidential elections until 2008, in which Barack Obama won by a close margin, becoming the first Democrat to carry the state since 1964.

As of the 2020 presidential election, this is the last election in which Greene County, Harrison County, and Washington County voted for the Democratic presidential nominee.[3]
