I don't think that he would have won--though he would have made the election much more competitive if he had run a better campaign. After shutting himself down after the Democratic convention in July for about a month, he had a dismal September and first part of October 1988.
The problems were predicated on the fact that the Democrats had no real base at the time (whereas the South and West were locks for the Republicans). He was struggling to find electoral votes anywhere. Dukakis did come back in the latter part of October and into November (the election was held on November 8th)--and the results are the formation of the Democratic advantage of today.
