The 1996 campaign for president was never close. President Clinton's projected electoral votes never fell below the 271 he needed for re-election and Senator Dole peaked in March at 69 projected electoral votes. This essay uses two underutilized subnational data sets-the Hotline's "Electoral Scoreboards" and the Pew Center for the People and the Press's typology of American voters-to explain the apparent contradiction between Clinton's modest aggregate public approval ratings and his landslide re-election
