1972: Nixon vs Wallace (no third parties)

[ChrisMcDanielWasRobbed]

How would Nixon vs Wallace have turned out in 1972 assuming there are no serious third parties?

I think the result would have look something like the Eisenhower vs Stevenson results with Wallace only winning a few southern states and DC. I could see him winning some of the "coal democrat" states like Kentucky and West Virginia. Maybe he could win Pennsylvania if he still had strong urban support.

Even DC is doubtful if Wallace hadn’t had his “conversion” on racial issues by then. The city was 70% black back then.
