64 had more of an effect specifically on the South since Goldwater constituency in the Deep South is the similar to the GOP base in the South today. A lot of Goldwater's voters probably went for Wallace, not Nixon in 68 (as evidenced by Nixon only getting like 10% of the vote in the Deep South states won by Wallace/Goldwater). Nixon's share of the vote in the South wasn't any higher in 68 than in 60 (or EIsenhower's in 56) in most places. I think Nixon had a different coalition in the South, and his success in 68 didn't have much to do with CRA backlash, despite the conventional narrative. If you were raging about the CRA, you;d vote for Wallace, not the consistently pro-CRA Nixon.

68 certainly had more of an effect nationally, though.
