1. Staunch anti-incumbent voter who made an exception to vote for the incumbent party in 1988 because of an intense hatred of Michael Dukakis.
2. Minnesota Republican who voted for Clinton to protest Bush's breaking his "No New Taxes" pledge.

Ignoring the Reagan 80' part. These counties voted for Carter in 1980, Mondale in 1984, then switched to Bush in 1988 and Won by Clinton in 1992.

Tenneessee:  Hardeman, White,  Lincoln

South Carolina: Edgefield

Georgia:  Mitchell, Telfair, Taylor, Bibb, Washington

For the south carolina and georgia counties, those counties had a large black population.

Bush did increase the share of blacks voting for republicans by 1%



However the most likely scenario is a southern democrat who voted for mondale due to appreciation of carter despite probably not liking mondale very much. Then switched to Bush over social issues, especially on gun control and the death penalty. Before switching to Clinton because they thought of him as a reformed southern democrat that was more likeable and strong on crime. And probably after Clinton left became solid voters for republican candidates.

A small business owner who realized that Big Business really kicked off under Reagan and that Corp. America was now way too powerful.

A voter of no particular political leaning, who liked Reagan in 1980 but felt he was too old in 1984 to be re-elected to 4 more years and perhaps was concerned about nuclear war. Liked Bush, but was ready for change by 1992. States where this seems likely: New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York City, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Tennessee, California.
