U.S. president
Article Abstract:
Californians chose Pres George Bush over Arkansas Gov Bill Clinton in preliminary voting for the US presidency. California also set the trend with most states voting for Bush over Patrick Buchanan. However, Clinton had already secured the Democratic nomination before the California votes were in. Independent candidate Ross Perot on the other hand, had a strong showing finishing first in an survey of voters exiting polling places. His supporters are already collecting signatures that would put him up as one of the presidential candidates on the November polls.

Election 1996
Article Abstract:
Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole trailed Bill Clinton by 22 points in the September Field Poll. The dwindling support for Dole is likewise evident even in Republican strongholds such as Orange County, Riverside and San Diego Counties. Clinton leads Dole in issues such as education and seems quite confident that the economic stability of California would reflect well on him. Competition for control of the congressional delegation, which is evenly split with 26-26 at pre-election time, is not as conclusive.
