On this day, 29 years ago, November 5, 1996 (September 25, 1996 in the lunar calendar), Clinton took charge of the White House again. On November 5, 1996, the quadrennial U.S. election was announced. By about 9 o'clock EST that night, voting results from various states showed that Clinton had obtained the 270 electoral votes needed to be elected president. Since then, voting results have been received one after another show that Clinton defeated Republican challenger Bob Dole by a large margin to win the 1996 election and become the 53rd president of the United States. He was the first Democratic president to run for re-election after President Franklin Roosevelt. Clinton's victory was expected to win this year's election. People are concerned about how much advantage Clinton can win this election. Judging from the current situation, Clinton has won an overwhelming victory in terms of the number of electoral votes he has won. The final result is that Clinton has won 379 electoral votes, while Dole has only 159, and Reform Party candidate Perot has none. Among 75% of the counted voters in the United States, Clinton won 50%, Dole 42%, and Perot 8%. If this situation continues to remain the same, Clinton has fully realized his own expectations for this presidential election. The election results were naturally a serious blow to Dole, but Dole felt comforted by the fact that his vote rate in the voter voting was a few percentage points higher than in previous polls, and the gap with Clinton was only a single digit. The actual campaign situation was fiercer than experts predicted. Third-party candidate Perot missed the electoral vote last time, and this time is no exception. This time, his 8% vote rate is also a big step backward from the 19% he won in his first election in 1992. It is an indisputable fact that the influence of Perot's Reform Party among voters is rapidly declining. Although Dole failed to move into the White House, the Republican Party was not dark in the election situation. The Republican Party has performed well in the congressional elections. It is a foregone conclusion that the Republican Party will maintain its majority status in the Senate. The House election shows that the Republican Party has more hope of controlling the House of Representatives. The trend of the White House and Congress being controlled by the Democratic and Republican parties is difficult to change for the time being. Clinton's second term does not seem to be better than before. Compared with previous elections, this year's election has many characteristics. One is that the election was relatively dull from beginning to end and lacked ups and downs. It was called "the most boring election of the century." From the beginning of the election, Clinton led Dole by a large margin in the polls and maintained it until the last moment before the election. It is precisely because the election situation has not changed that voters and the news media have paid less attention to and reported on this election. According to rough estimates, voters voting this year accounted for 49% of school-age voters, the lowest since 1924. Another feature of this election is that Clinton received a large proportion of votes from women. Male voters voted for Clinton and Dole each accounted for 44%, but female voters voted for them each accounted for 54% and 37% respectively. There was a difference of nearly 17 percentage points between the two. This is the largest gender gap in the U.S. election. The reason why Clinton is favored by women voters is closely related to his emphasis on education, environment, family, gun restrictions and other issues of concern to women in the past two years.
