History

Historical Context

After the Gulf War lifted George H. W. Bush’s approval to 89% in March 1991, a recession that raised unemployment to 7.8% by June 1992 drove his support down to 37.5% of the popular vote in the election won by Bill Clinton. The same economic backlash resurfaces in New Jersey, where voters remain sharply divided along partisan lines.
