The effect of Wallace's candidacy is inconclusive, because he ostensibly took many voters from both parties. Nixon won vastly more electoral votes than Humphrey so even though the margin of popular vote was small, Nixon is considered to have won decisively mostly due to president Johnson's terrible unpopularity and Humphrey's alignment with him as his VP.
