1992 Clinton (D):44.9 million Bush (R ):39.1 million Perot (Ref):19.7 million – Bush + Perot: 58.8 million – Clinton slips in

1996 Clinton (D):47.4 million Dole (R ):39.2 million Perot (Ref):8.6 million – Dole + Perot = 47.8 million – Clinton slips in

2000 Bush (R ):50.3 million Gore (D):51.1 million Nader (Grn):2.9 million – Gore + Nader = 54 million – Bush slips in through Elec. Col.

2004 Bush:62 million Kerry:59.1 million Nader:700,000 – Naders votes in OH, FL would have thrown Elec. Col. To Kerry
