Elected President

Bill Clinton
Democratic

Texas was won by Kansas Senator Bob Dole, who was running against incumbent United States President Bill Clinton of Arkansas. Clinton ran a second time with incumbent Vice President Al Gore as his running mate and Dole ran with former New York Congressman Jack Kemp.[2] Texas provided both two of the nation's three most Republican counties – High Plains Ochiltree in its north and Glasscock in the central plains – and its most Democratic county in rock-ribbed Tejano Starr County at the opposite end of the state.[3]

Texas weighed in for this election as 13% more Republican than the national average.

Partisan background

The presidential election of 1996 was a very multi-partisan election for Texas, with more than 7% of the electorate voting for third-party candidates.

In his second bid for the presidency, Ross Perot led the newly reformed Reform Party to gain over 6% of the votes in his home state of Texas, and to pull in support nationally as the most popular third-party candidate to run for United States presidency in recent times. Loving County, Texas was one of two counties nationwide in which Ross Perot came in second place, ahead of one of the two major-party nominees, in 1996, the other being Arthur County, Nebraska.

Thanks to the political realignment of rural America in the 21st century, and certainly the presence of then-Governor George W. Bush on the 2000 and 2004 Republican presidential tickets, Texas' rural areas, particularly stalwart Democratic regions like East Texas, became dramatically more Republican after this election. Primarily due to Clinton's rural appeal, this was the last election where rural Texas played a factor in the close margin, as almost all of these counties switched from Democrat to Republican beginning in 2000. When the state became more contestable for Democrats in the mid-to-late 2010s, it derived primarily from Democratic strength or competitiveness in large, formerly Republican suburban strongholds such as Dallas, Harris, Fort Bend, Williamson, Hays, Tarrant, Collin, and Denton Counties--a complete reversal of the political environment which made the state close in 1996.

As of the 2020 presidential election, this is the last time a Democratic presidential candidate won the following counties: Hudspeth, Pecos, Terrell, Ward, Swisher, Hall, Cottle, Hardeman, Foard, Baylor, Knox, Haskell, Stonewall, Kent, Dickens, Crosby, Jones, Fisher, Nolan, Mitchell, Menard, Comanche, Palo Pinto, Bastrop, Caldwell, Nueces, San Patricio, Refugio, Bee, Karnes, Atascosa, Burleson, Milam, Falls, Limestone, Navarro, Waller, Grimes, Galveston, Trinity, Orange, Jasper, Tyler, Sabine, San Augustine, Shelby, Panola, Harrison, Marion, Cass, Bowie, Camp, Titus, Red River, Rains, Hopkins, Delta, and Fannin.[4] This would be the last election until 2016 in which the margin of victory for a Republican in Texas would be in the single digits. This is also the last time a Democrat won a county in the Texas Panhandle.
