41. Clinton did LESS well with white women than Obama 2008, Kerry, Gore, and Clinton 1996 --

Mon Mar 19, 2018, 06:34 PM

Mar 2018

Clinton got 43% - https://www.cnn.com/election/2016/results/exit-polls

Obama got 42% in 2012 and 46% in 2008.

There is a chart from 2008 (so it does not include 2012) near the bottom of this link labeled "sex and race" https://www.nytimes.com/elections/2008/results/president/national-exit-polls.html

What is clearly true is that white women, like white men have been more likely to vote for Republicans. Looking at the numbers since 1992 -- 41, 48, 48, 44, 46, 42 --- you can not say the next value (HRC's 43) is better than most previous Democrats. It isn't, but it is not significantly worse either. It is pretty consistent.
