Will Hillary do better or worse than Obama with white voters?

worse....White voters now hate the Democratic Party

The Democratic Party hasn't won the white vote since 1964, and they still have sizeable support from younger whites.

Although I believe I read that this support is tapering off generationally. I remember Cuccinelli won white 18-24 year olds but lost white 25-40 year olds. The general argument being that those who became adults when Bush was President vote Democrat and those who became adults under Obama vote Republican.

Hmm. If that does materialize, that would be similar to the Baby Boom divide between those aged under Nixon and those under Ford and Carter.

The GOP does poorly among young voters now, though I will expect that those who are just gaining voting age now will be more conservative than the older ones as the years progress.

Depends. The Boomer rightward shift depended a lot on Reagan. No such figure presently exists.
