I'm sure his positions made a significant impact.  With considerable migration of retirees from the Northeast and Midwest states, Florida definitely did not reflect Alabama or Georgia politically by 1964.   Still, Goldwater's position on the Civil Rights Act helped to keep Florida quite competitive--especially in the northern part of the state.

I agree with the previous post on Virginia.  As for Tennessee, Goldwater's position on TVA was not popular, and this caused Johnson to win the state by a substantial margin (about 12 points).
