So, we all know Clinton is doing poorly with working class whites, but where will she do best (least poorly?) relative to Obama or generic D? I guess I'm asking, where will she hold up?

I'd guess somewhere in the South, but the South is so inelastic that's not very interesting, so I guess question 2 is the above one, but in areas Obama kept close or won.

What's the definition of a working class white anyway?

I make 45,000 a year. I'm 28. I'm white and I'm a male. Am I "working class?"

Because I've never voted Republican in my life and never will.

Where the highest % of women work I assume?  Upper Midwest: Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Dakotas.

I mean sure, we all know it. Thing is, nobody really has any basis for believing it.

In all honesty, I think Clinton will do much better than '12 Obama with working class whites. Possibly even better than '08 Obama.

Obviously the northeast and upper Midwest. How is this even a question?

Maybe I should have said blue collar, which is the point I was trying to get at. We still see Trump doing better than Romney/McCain (or Clinton worse than Obama, not sure which one it is) in ME-2, MN-8, NE and Central Ohio, Iowa, WI-7/8, areas that have higher than average non-college educated whites.

Uh, not the question, I asked relative to Obama/generic D. Obviously democratic areas are going to be well, democratic. I guess I could have refined the question to be "areas neither Strong R nor Strong D"...

And the Northwest, especially Oregon.
