Compared to 1960, Nixon only flipped the Carolinas.  Wallace was much more a spoiler to Humphrey in states like OH and IL than he was to Nixon in the Deep South.

I suppose in a some purely hypothetical two-way race, Nixon would have won over most of Wallace's voters in the South, but the fact that Wallace ran and did so well with this group shows that there wasn't some great effort by Republicans to appeal to them.
