Some Perot voters would not have voted for Clinton and would have for Bush, but Perot's being in the race clearly helped Clinton. Perot spent a good year bashing the status quo and George HW Bush. He barely bashed Clinton. Perot got out of the race in July 1992 saying basically that it looked like the Dems have it together this year. He got back in in a few months saying the Republicans threatened to ruin his daughter's wedding if he didn't drop out before.

His whole spiel absolutely set the tone for a change candidate to beat a status quo candidate. Gov. Clinton absolutely benefitted from that tone.
