What contributed most to President Bush losing the election to Bill Clinton in 1992?

The U.S. economy was in a recession around the 1992 election, and voters were concerned about unemployment and economic hardship. This weakened support for President George H. W. Bush and helped Bill Clinton win. Bush’s conservation measures, the conflict with Panama, and the outcome of the Gulf War were not the main factors in his defeat.
