<P> George Washington Nonpartisan </P> <P> George Washington Federalist </P> <P> The United States presidential election of 1792 was the second quadrennial presidential election . It was held from Friday, November 2 to Wednesday, December 5, 1792 . Incumbent President George Washington was elected to a second term by a unanimous vote in the electoral college, while John Adams was re-elected as vice president . Washington was essentially unopposed, but Adams faced a competitive re-election against Governor George Clinton of New York . </P> <P> Washington was widely popular, and no one made a serious attempt to oppose his re-election . Electoral rules of the time required each presidential elector to cast two votes without distinguishing which was for president and which for vice president . The recipient of the most votes would then become president, and the runner - up vice president . The Democratic - Republican Party, which had organized in opposition to the policies of Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton, supported Clinton for the position of vice president . Adams, meanwhile, was backed by the Federalist Party in his bid for another term . Neither party had fully organized, and partisan divisions had not yet solidified . </P>
