Jackson and Duke would strangle each other before the election....
Seriously, it's kind of like having Benjamin Netanyahu and Yassir Arafat running on the same ticket, or perhaps George W. Bush and Saddam Hussein. The candidates would have little in common, and hate each other's guts. Or, to put it in Jamaican: "It Just Won't Work, Mon."
Anyway, regardless if its Jackson or Duke who remains on the ticket, whichever of them will lose big.
Heck, if Duke is on the ticket, Bush might win DC, netting 537 EVs (less one smart-aleck elector who either votes Quayle/Bush or casts in a ballot for Ron Paul). Duke's appeal would be limited towards whites in the deepest South and a few western states, where the 'Reagan Coalition' would be well-nigh impossible to overcome.
Jackson would win DC, New York, and a few other states, at least. Still a landslide loss.
