He dropped out for a couple of months and then got back in again. Clinton was ahead of GHWB in all of the polls, regardless whether Perot was in the race or not. But it is still an article of faith that Perot cost Bush the election. Never mind that exit polls showed Perot's voters splitting evenly between Bush and Clinton if he hadn't been in the race.
