Businessman Ross Perot ran as candidate for the Reform Party with economist Pat Choate as his running mate: he received less media attention but after some controversy about media bias, Perot wasn't excluded from the presidential debates and, while still obtaining substantial results for a third-party candidate, by U.S. standards, did not renew his success in the 1992 election. Clinton benefited from an economy which recovered from the early 1990s recession, and a relatively stable world stage. On November 5, 1996, President Clinton went on to win re-election with a huge electoral college vote (468 in total) but wouldn't win over the 50% of the popular vote mark as Clinton trounched Dole with 45 electoral votes and Perot with 26 electoral votes.
