Bush 41 had far too many negatives to expect to win in '92. He really only had the Gulf War going for him. There was a insightful analysis from Gergen and Shields back in the early part of the campaign. It was noted that with few partisan enemies he was able to achieve a 91% approval in 1991 after the war. He also had few partisan friends, and as they noted that, unlike Reagan, there was no group of folks in some bar saying that "Bush is my guy". There was a complete lack of a base to hold him up.
