I highly doubt public support could have turned the tide of the war. It was really a combination of favorable conditions for the NVA, bungling of the deployment of troops by the armed forces brass, growing expense, and the unpopularity of the american presence amongst south vietnamese that led to the US withdrawal.....not the peace marches and hippies.
