I think that Clinton would do better than Bush, but one thing that has to be remembered here is that the country's tolerance for infidelity for presidential candidates was not quite yet what it gradually became in the 1990s and onwards. Gary Hart had to drop out a year prior due to the Donna Rice scandal. I think that's one of Clinton's weak spots. I also think that his age (42) and his lack of foreign policy expertise hurts him more in 1988 as opposed to 1992 due to Communism still being an existing threat. I think Clinton does better but Bush prevails.
