Seems reasonable. There's no way to know for certain how Perot voters would've voted if he hadn't been a candidate (obviously overall turnout would've been much lower).
Though I would point out that exit polls indicated the Perot vote would've split evenly between Clinton and Bush. Also, when Perot reentered the race in October, Clinton and Bush's percentages in the first Gallup poll immediately thereafter went down by the same amount as compared to the poll immediately preceding, and Clinton's lead was thus completely unaffected.
When Perot exited the race in July, Clinton went way up in the polls immediately thereafter, though obviously the fact that the Dem convention was going on at that time had something to do with it, as well.
