In the Deep South states (Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia)--substantially more voters to Wallace over Nixon. South Carolina did go for Nixon because of Strom Thurmond's strong endorsement, but Wallace nonetheless got 32% of the vote there.
For Outer South states (Tennessee, North Carolina, Florida, Virginia)--definitely favoring Nixon over Wallace, as the Nixon margins there were fairly substantial. Arkansas, which went for Wallace, is somewhat of a puzzle.
On top of this, Johnson voters who didn't vote for Humphrey in 1968 probably voted in the same split for Nixon/Wallace.
