The
Ross Perot presidential campaign of 1992 was an effort spawned by grassroots supporters to elect
Texas industrialist
Ross Perot as
President of the United States as an
independent candidate . Perot focused the campaign on the
federal budget ,
economic nationalism , an escalation of the
war on drugs and implementation of "electronic town halls". He largely financed his own campaign and relied on marketing and widespread grassroots support to spread his message. In certain polls, Perot led the three-way race with
Republican nominee
George H. W. Bush , the incumbent President, and
Governor
Bill Clinton of
Arkansas , the
Democratic nominee. He dropped out in July 1992 amid controversy, but reentered in October, and surpassed the 15% polling threshold to reach his goal of participating in all three
presidential debates . Despite an aggressive use of campaign infomercials on
prime time
network television , his polling numbers never fully recovered from his initial exit. On
Election Day , Perot appeared on every state ballot. He won several counties and finished in third place, receiving close to 19 percent of the popular vote; the most won by a
third-party presidential candidate since
Theodore Roosevelt in
1912 . (
