WI: Ross Perot wins the PV in 1992

Most of you will probably be aware that before he withdrew, Ross Perot was actually leading in some polls in the 1992 Presidential election. Now, ignoring the possibility that his support comes crashing down as election day approached, what if Perot had won the Popular Vote? I'm assuming he wouldn't win a majority in the electoral college, so who does the House elect?
 
Clinton. The 103rd Congress would pick, and remember, it’s one state, one vote when it comes to picking a President. The 103rd Congress had a Democratic majority in 30 states and the 31st was Vermont, aka Bernie-Land. That’s enough to give it to Clinton by a comfortable margin. Likewise, the Senate votes in Gore.

Clinton won re-election by a comfortable margin in 1996, so being voted in by Congress probably wouldn’t change that. What might change is whether the GOP gives Perot a shot. He won’t win, but he may be seen as a better challenger than Dole.
 
I imagine Clinton and Gore would still win, but just given the nature of how they'll have been selected I imagine their term goes worse than OTL.

One interesting butterfly is that this likely prompts Perot to form a new party much earlier, and likely contest the 1994 midterms.
 
Is there any data on which voters are most likely to break for Perot? My understanding is that the most likely scenario here comes from a drop in enthusiasm for Clinton rather than picking away more of Bush's base- Clinton won more swing voters than Bush, and by definition they're the ones more likely to "swing."

Not that that means much in the end, though I know how much this board loves those unlikely "different VP than the one you ran with" scenarios. This could keep Gore off the senate's ballot.

But that's just for laughs. More importantly, I agree that this is a really good chance to muddle the hell out of US politics for a little while. It seems like the two-party system is just too entrenched to do away with, but I imagine you could have a few cycles of chaos before it settles down again.

Perhaps a likely outcome is something like New York style election laws going national, promoting fusion tickets and seeing the birth of a whole raft of nominal parties that really just exist to see their interests courted. Another layer for primary season.
