What Groups or figures support Lyndon Johnson's Re-election in January 1968

This is before the New Hampshire primary.

Labor Unions probably, probably a lot of working class black Democrats who were still supportive over civil rights and either indifferent to or hawkish on Vietnam.

LBJ must have still had support of a large majority of working class Democrats, particularly those over 35 or so. Those who later supported HHH in the primary for sure, and most of the blue-collar element of RFK's multiracial coalition.  LBJ most likely would have won re-nomination had he sought it, but he knew he would have problems in the general.

Many Americans, including many Democrats, still supported the Vietnam War in January 1968. People were certainly concerned about the high body counts, and fearful for their own relatives in Vietnam, but ultimately felt that it was a war worth fighting and a war that was supposed to be over soon (Westmoreland apparently was convinced in 1967 that it would be over by 1969).

The dam of support started to break with the Tet Offensive, and even then people did support the war and wanted it won quickly and with minimal American deaths (a reason why Nixon won).

Nobody really supported HHH in the primary (other then a handful of votes for his “favorite son” stand ins who always finished a distant third) which was part of what led to the reforms after that election. The primary process was nakedly undemocratic at the time.
