1968: Johnson vs. Nixon vs. Wallace.

[retromike22]

Lyndon Johnson never says "I shall not seek, nor will I accept, the nomination of my party for a second term as your President."

What do you think would happen?

[RogueBeaver]

He'll easily overpower RFK at Chicago but it will be even more brutal than RL. In the GE flip a coin.

[hcallega]

Johnson fares worse than Humphrey, due to voter anger and a decrease in support among white liberals combined with a lack of substantial gains among any other voter demographics.

Jbrase's map, but flip Michigan and/or Pennsylvania.

[Tricky Dickie]

I can see an independent fourth party picking up votes.

[Jerseyrules]

Does Wallace stand a chance at picking up TX?

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Johnson might win re-election, but also might do worse than Humphrey. It's hard to say.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Does Wallace stand a chance at picking up TX?

No.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Easy.  Johnson and the Vietnam war were so unpopular that Nixon would have definitely won.

[dougie77]

Former Vice President Richard Nixon/Governor Spiro Agnew: 218 EV. 43.1%
Governor George Wallace/General Curtis LeMay: 39 EV. 10.6%

[Mr. Smith]

The above map,except give Maine,Virginia,New Jersey and Connecticut to Nixon and Missouri, New Mexico, and Arkansas to Johnson.

Nixon wins big... There's a reason RFK and Eugene McCarthy gained so much traction in the first place (Vietnam) and that would help both Nixon and Wallace. Johnson might only win Texas and possibly Illinois. Wallace takes what he won IRL plus South Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and Florida. Nixon takes everything else.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

Nixon does significantly better than IRL as a vote for LBJ is more clearly a vote for the status quo.  Wallace does slightly better among Northern Democrats and slightly worse among Southern Democrats than against HHH. The Left stays home or votes for minor/protest candidates.

Nixon/Agnew  47%  383
LBJ/HHH         38%  110   
Wallace/LeMay 14%   45

I still think that Nixon would end up carrying Virginia, as the state was much more Republican on the Presidential level in 1968 and Nixon still won most counties despite George Wallace's presence. Other than that, I agree with you about the other states.
