Commentary on Bush Perot dynamic in 1992 polls
The article argues that Bush's poor standing, not Perot's strength, drives the Perot effect. It cites Gallup showing Bush tied with Perot at 35 percent and Clinton at 25, notes earlier polls, and criticizes Bush’s handling of the economy. It connects the Gulf War, media portrayal, and scandals to a loss of public support and forecasts uncertainty for Perot.
