Here's an idea of how voters have changed since 2016.

"Trump lost the support of many White men, a group he won decisively in 2016 and by less so in 2020. But the bigger story for Democrats — and the reason they were unable to perform better against the President — is that Biden narrowly underperformed Clinton’s margin of victory among voters of color, who all broke decisively for Biden, but by smaller margins than Clinton won them. Most alarming for Democrats is Trump’s performance among Latinos. It helped him keep Florida, which has many Cuban-Americans and Puerto Ricans. But he trailed in Arizona, which has more Mexican-Americans."


"Biden’s most convincing electoral argument was that he could recapture some of the White, working class voters who went to Trump in Rust Belt states in 2016. He certainly over-performed Clinton among White men and women without college degrees. He made inroads with White college educated men and underperformed Clinton, who was trying to become the first woman president, among White college educated women."

So Clinton had +19 and Biden had +27 But it lowered a bit on youth voting Trump in 2020, so that is not an exact telling.
