Reagan's approval ratings were in the 60's during the 1988 campaign

No. He was in the high 40s/low 50s for most of '88. He did get more popular as the year progressed, which no doubt helped Bush.

If you want to argue I will, but Reagan had a 61% approval rating in October 1988

In which poll? I'm not disputing it, but the Gallup numbers I just linked to had him in the mid-fifties in the fall, higher after the election.
