United States presidential election, 1996
The
United States presidential election of 1996
was the 53rd quadrennial
presidential election
. It was held on Tuesday, November 5, 1996. The contest was between the
Democratic
national ticket of
President
Bill Clinton
from
Arkansas
and
Vice President
Al Gore
from
Tennessee
and the
Republican
national ticket of former
Senator
Bob Dole
of
Kansas
for President and former
Housing Secretary
Jack Kemp
from
New York
for
Vice President
. Businessman
Ross Perot
ran as candidate for the
Reform Party
with economist
Pat Choate
as his running mate; he received less media attention and was excluded from the
presidential debates
and, while still obtaining substantial results for a third-party candidate, by U.S. standards, did not renew his success of the
1992 election
. Turnout was registered at 49.0%, the lowest for a presidential election since 1924.
