I don't think it would have made much of a difference. LBJ won the election mainly because a) pity over JFK, and people being rather reluctant to have three Presidents in the space of one-and-a-half years, and b) the perception of Goldwater as a whackjob who would start nuclear war with the Soviets. Goldwater might have picked up a few more states, but that's about it, LBJ would have still been the clear winner.
