People had Republican fatigue and Bush Sr. was unpopular, but the 80s Conservative Consensus was still very much in place, and people weren't sure about Clinton due to his scandals. It was also much less polarized in the 90s. Additionally, unlike many third party candidates, Perot had money, name recognition, and made the debate stage. He was also seen as a real contender to win at points, so there was less concern about "wasting your vote."
