Reply #88: When Perot dropped out in the summer...

[Hippo_Tron]

Clinton was consistantly polling at 51% and above. On election day the exit polls showed that Perot voters were almost evenly split three ways. 1/3 would have voted for Bush, 1/3 would have voted for Clinton, 1/3 would have stayed home.

The only thing that Perot might have really helped Clinton with is the electoral college. There are many scenarios that show that the electoral college would have been much closer than it actually was, if Perot had not been in the race. However, there is almost no reasonable scenario that gives Bush an electoral college victory.'
