...three-man race means a three-way split, that requires both Bush and Clinton to shore up their base support at all costs. "The question we're asking ourselves is whether there are enough conservatives and Republicans to make up 35% of the electorate," explained one Bush official. "Is our base big enough to win an election in a three-man race...
...time when Bush and Clinton are racing around the country, giving speeches, honing positions, posing against scenic backdrops, this small man, who loves the sobriquet "Billionaire Boy Scout," suddenly leads the polls. A TIME/CNN survey last week by Yankelovich Clancy Shulman underlines Perot's surprising appeal: he wins a three-way race for the White House with 33% to Bush's 28%, with Clinton trailing at 24%. Perot has done the impossible: crafted a credible national campaign out of two dozen TV interviews and half a dozen speeches...
...TIME poll, Perot draws from both major-party candidates almost equally: 27% of Clinton voters say they would switch to Perot in a three-way race, and 25% of Bush backers say the same.

If he could keep his support through the fall -- the ultimate challenge for an independent candidate feeding on voter protest -- Perot would not be a spoiler but the front runner in the popular vote for President...
...control how the public feels about him, which is, in a word, great. A poll in the crucial state of California shows Perot in first place, followed by Bush and then the Arkansas Governor.

A month earlier, Clinton finished in a dead heat with Bush, 43% to 43%; now he loses by 11 points, 44% to 33% (a jump in the undecided column made most of the difference). In a three-way race, Clinton barely edges Texas billionaire Ross Perot, 25% to 21%, with Bush pulling 40%. It is rare enough for a candidate not to get a bounce in the polls after winning some major primaries; to lose ground is almost unheard of. Some reasons for the deterioration: asked...
