I wonder what type of person would be a Nixon/McGovern voter?

Anti- War people,  that were dis-satisfied with the Johnson Administration actions  on the Vietnam War.

Hunter S Thompson was a Nixon/McGovern voter.

I'd concur that Goldwater/Humphrey is the least likely outside of someone who changed all their politics.

Wallace/McGovern would basically be a racist southern hippie.

Only 2 counties went Dole/Gore (this must be the lowest since at least 1960, does anything come close?), but such swings were almost entirely urban, so county flips don't represent the truth. This could be a Northeastern moderate who found Bush too cowboyish/uneducated/unexperienced.

My Grandfather was a Dole/Gore voter. Gore improved on Clinton's performance in Fairfield County, CT though so did Bush over Dole, but only slightly due to Perot not being in at all.
