Honestly hard to say. He could either win a close one or lose a close one.

Here's a better answer:

1988: Dukakis wins 335-203 if everything went right for him:



1992: His first term as president has it's ups and downs. The Cold War still ends, The Gulf War still takes place and there's a mild recession. The recession would've likely meant losing the plains states and struggling in Ohio. I also don't think Dukakis would've win Texas again. I could've seen Dukakis flipping New Jersey but it probably would've stayed Republican. Dukakis could've still won 272-266 if he retained everything else he won in 1988 but one more loss and he would've been toast. The GOP nominee would've definitely been the favorite to win.

We'd be posting about it regularly to this day.

Interesting scenario.
