Were Dole-Bush voters really that common, or was it more a combination of people moving around, generational turnover, and Perot-Bush voters?
Good question, as I have always felt that "swing" voters (both for and against the overall swing) were more common than most party analysts care to admit. If I had to throw out numbers, of those that voted in both 1996 and 2000:
Clinton-Gore: 42
Clinton-Bush: 5
Clinton-Nader: 2
Dole-Gore: 4
Dole-Bush: 37
Perot-Gore: 2
Perot-Bush: 6
So, 37% of those who voted both times were Dole-Bush voters.
