Perot gains cheers but faces hard vote path
In Salt Lake City Ross Perot drew strong applause at a rally with members of the American Legion. Voters present split on backing him with many skeptical about his ability to win a national election. John Long of Oregon said he liked the speech but would not vote Reform. Edie Saenz of Denison Texas said she would back Clinton despite admiring Perot. Arnold McJunkins of Huntsville Alabama doubted Perot could win and feared him tilting the race toward Clinton by siphoning GOP support.
