Georgia law provided for a runoff if no candidate in the regularly scheduled November 3 general election received in excess of 50 percent of the vote. The 1992 runoff in Georg a was a hotly contested race between the Democratic incumbent Wyche Fowler, and his Republican opponent, Paul Coverdell.

  • Iowa Caucus Results
    ELECTIONS 377 CAUCUS RESULTS Democrats Note: Delegate strength figures are projections by the Iowa Democratic Party of the percentage of state convention delegates each candidate controlled as a result of strength shown at the caucuses. In 1972 and 1976, the Iowa Democratic Party also projected the national delegates won based on the strength shown at the caucuses. In 1984 and 1988, the News Election Service (N.E.S.) also conducted straw polls. Since both the Iowa Democratic Party and N.E.S. results depend on volunteer reporting, the results are never complete. In 1992, a N.E.S. straw poll was not conducted. In all years, information was never reported from some precincts. 1972 Delegate Strength National Delegates Won Uncommitted ......................................................... 35.8% ................................................................18 Edmund Muskie .................................................... 35.5% ................................................................18 George McGovern ................................................ 22.6% ................................................................10 Others .................................................................... ....7%.............................................................. .0 Hubert Humphrey ................................................ 1.6% ..................................................................0 Eugene McCarthy ................................................ 1.4% ...................................................................0

  • DEMOCRATIC HORSE RACE : TSONGAS ALMOST NECK-AND-NECK with CLINTON in NATIONWIDE POLL by Humphrey Taylor Following the New Hampshire Primary, Arkansas Gov
    The Hawis Poll For release: Sunday AM, February 27, 1992 1992 19 ISSN 0895-7983 DEMOCRATIC HORSE RACE : TSONGAS ALMOST NECK-AND-NECK WITH CLINTON IN NATIONWIDE POLL By Humphrey Taylor Following the New Hampshire primary, Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton now holds a very small (26 percent to 24 percent) lead over former Sen. Paul Tsongas. In the latest nationwide Harris Poll, taken by telephone between February 19th and February 26th, however, many Democrats and independents express their lack of enthusiasm for any of the five candidates. If Gov. Mario Cuomo is added to the list of candidates, he emerges as the strong front-runner. Candidate preferences vary substantially among different groups in the population. Clinton is the clear leader among those whose education did not go beyond high school but does much less well among the college- educated. He gets the largest share of the black vote, does well among whites but fairs poorly among Hispanics. Tsongas, on the other hand, has a substantial lead among the college-educated but does very poorly among blacks. Former California Gov. Jerry Brown is much more attractive to minority voters than to whites. The focus on Southern primaries over the next few weeks gives Clinton a big advantage. In the South, he is much farther, ahead with 39 percent of the Southern vote, compared to Tsongas' 19 percent, Brown's 14 percent and only 5 percent each for Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa and Nebraska Sen. Bob Kerrey. The Cuomo Effect The possibility of Mario Cuomo entering the race -- or being drafted -- if all the other candidates appear so damaged or weak as to be unelectable continues to be discussed.
