He never got his full momentum back when he reentered the race. The linked Washington Post article put Perot at 38%, Bush at 30%, and Clinton at 26% among likely voters in June 1992. Others polls at the time had Perot a close 2nd to Bush. Perot was sliding some in the polls when he dropped out in July, but he likely would have had a much stronger showing if he had not dropped out and entered which caused voters to view him as flaky.
