All of Perot's lowest popular vote percentages by state were in the South. He failed to break 15% in a single Southern state and he got less than 10% in Mississippi.
Why was he specifically unpopular in the South? I saw an answer in a similar thread about how Perot's overall strength in 1992 might be explained by a detachment of traditional party loyalties in the immediate aftermath of the Cold War. Did these loyalties remain stronger in the South? Or was Clinton's (and to a lesser extent Bush's) appeal in the South enough to keep the Perot surge there lower than elsewhere?
