Analysis
Montana was won by Governor Bill Clinton (D-Arkansas) with 37.63% of the popular vote over incumbent President George H. W. Bush (R-Texas) with 35.12%. Businessman Ross Perot (I-Texas) finished in third with 26.12% of the popular vote. It was the first time the state voted for a Democrat since it was won by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964. It is also the last time that the state voted Democratic as of 2016. Considered a safe Republican state, Clinton's win was due to independent Ross Perot splitting the Republican vote and allowing the Democrats to win the state for the first time since 1964.
