In the eyes of supporters of either major party, a vote for a third party is a vote for the other major party. It may not have always been this way, but it has for as long as I've been an engaged voter (~20 years).

It depends on who the third party is.
More from Republicans: Theodore Roosevelt, probably George Wallace and Ross Perot
More from Democrats: Henry Wallace, Strom Thurmond, Ralph Nader
Who knows: John Anderson.
I think that Roosevelt, Perot, and Nader all had strong effects, I don't think that Thurmond, either Wallace, or Anderson changed the outcome.
