Montana was won by Governor Bill Clinton (D-Arkansas) with a 37.63% plurality of the popular vote over incumbent President George H. W. Bush's (R-Texas) 35.12%, and businessman Ross Perot's (I-Texas) 26.12%.[3][4] This was the first time that the Democratic candidate won the state since 1964, and as of 2020, this is the most recent and only time this has happened since 1964, setting Montana apart from its neighboring states (Wyoming, Idaho, North Dakota, and South Dakota), all of which also voted for the Democratic candidate in 1964 but have never again done so since then. This was also one of eight states where Perot earned over 25 percent of the vote.
