Populism: 1932 vs. 1992 vs. 1968Franklin Delano Roosevelt/John Nance Garner (D): 22,821,277 - 43.50% - 314 EV ✓H.

Unsurprisingly, Perot ran strongest in the states that had grown the most since Roosevelt's election. Roosevelt's best states were in the Great Plains and the Corn Belt, while Wallace (of course) dominated the South (with the notable exception of Florida). The closest states were in the Upper Midwest, the area kind of on the border between the Western States and the Midwest, and in the South where Wallace screwed things up. The election was almost identical to 1992 in terms of the popular vote percentages of the candidates. Wallace outperformed his 1968 electoral total considerably, by flipping South Carolina and Tennessee.
