Did the 1992 LA Riots hurt Bush?

[Bomster]

1968 was a tumultuous year, one of murder, injustice, and riots. The chaos at home and abroad in Vietnam made Americans lose confidence in the incumbent and his party, so Richard Nixon was able to come back from the political grave and win the 1968 election under a theme of "restoring law and order".

1992 wasn't as explosive as 1968, but it is marked by one of the most significant riots in history, the LA Riots. Sparked by the beating of Rodney King by police officers, people took to the streets in anger, causing mass rioting. The event was unprecedented, being documented live on TV.

Something both of these years have in common is that they both involved riots in cities and also an election. In both election years the incumbent party lost the White House. While Bush Sr's defeat is most attributed to economic effects, could it party be attributed to the LA riots? Did he receive flak at the time for it? Or was it irrelevant on the election?
