Dukakis led Bush big in the polls for a while, but the Republicans killed him with effective negative ads portraying him as too elite, liberal, and out of touch.
There was a lot of competition on the Dem side before that, but plenty of Republicans weren't excited about Bush either (he finished 3rd in Iowa and lost a bunch of other state primaries.).
