Along with the farm crisis that still affected the midwest. Dukakis gained among blue collar workers mainly in rural areas that supported Reagan strongly due to a dropoff from the 1984 landslide and a switch to the Democrats. My guess is that there was fatigue over Reagan's policies especially didnt feel that they benefited from the 1980s economic boom compared to Suburban areas despite the same areas voting for Reagan because of his appeal to social conservatism back in 1984.
