Answer:

The message that propelled William Jefferson "Bill" Clinton to the presidency in 1992 was the promise that he would provide economic and social opportunities for the Americans.

Step-by-step explanation:

The American people did not know Clinton well before he ran for president. The most important and well-known leaders of the Democratic Party did not want to be rivals of then President Bush, because this one had acquired much popularity after the Gulf War. However, during the Bush presidency, the economy had entered into recession and that was fatal for the candidacy to his re-election.

During his 1992 presidential campaign, Clinton made a high priority in promoting economic growth, job creation, educational improvement and raising opportunities for young people, which made him a popular candidate among the lower classes.
