Title: Did immigration effect the results of the 1996 election? Post by: darklordoftech on April 07, 2018, 11:55:17 PM Bob Dole talked about immigration in his 1996 campaign. Did this effect the results of the election?

Clinton really should have won over 400 electoral votes in 1996 (which he would have if he held GA CO and MT) Title: Re: Did immigration effect the results of the 1996 election?

The bolded states seem like a stretch to me. There was a huge turnout collapse for Clinton in 1996. In hindsight people are impressed by his 9 point win, but he was ahead in the polls by 15-20 points nationally. That would have been closing in a Reagan 1984 or Ike like win.

The 15-20 point lead was months before the election..it had narrowed to the low double digits as Republicans came home. Maybe the best case scenario for Clinton was adding MT, CO, GA, VA, and maybeeee NC. I agree that given the fundamentals, the race should've been an even bigger blowout, but we can start to see polarization in this election. And a lot of people just didn't like Clinton's character while Dole was noncontroversial. |
