As it says in the title.  They hold the same positions, and people now know about their presidencies and personal lives (so Hoover might attack Roosevelt for Japanese internment and opposing anti-lynching laws, for example).

2008: McCain does better, close but lean-Obama.
2004: Kerry landslide
2000: Gore landslide
1996: Similar to IRL, Clinton does better in the NE and west and Dole does worse in the South.  Perot might do slightly better.
1992: Clinton wins by a larger margin, Perot does better, winning Maine.
1988: Much closer, but Bush still wins
1980/1984: 50-state Reagan landslide
1976: 50-state Ford landslide
1972: Close, McGovern wins
1968: HHH landslide, Wallace near wiped out
1964: 50-state LBJ landslide (SoCons would go for LBJ)
1960: Kennedy landslide
1952/1956: Eisenhower landslide, smaller than IRL simply due to increased polarization
1948: Truman landslide
1940/1944: FDR wins by larger margins
1936: FDR landslide, Landon does slightly better
1932: 50-state FDR landslide
1928: Smith landslide
1924: Davis nearly wiped out, Coolidge narrowly defeats LaFollette
1920: Cox landslide
1916: Hughes landslide
1912: Can the initial Roosevelt lead be whittled down due to revelation of his more "interesting" views?  Wilson will be wiped out, Debs may replace Roosevelt as the left candidate if Roosevelt is sunk.
1908: Taft landslide
1904: lean Roosevelt win
1896/1900: Close between McKinley and Debs

Sorry but your list is wrong. Here is what will happen in my view:

2008- Mccain wins by winning Ohio
2004- Bush wins by a bigger margin
2000- Bush wins by a landslide
1996- Clinton wins Virginia and North Carolina, Perot makes it to 14%
1992- Clinton wins by same marrgin, Perot wins Maine, Montana, and Wyoming
1988- Bush wins my same margin or better, Dukakis is still bland
1984- 50 State Landlide
1980- Same as in RL
1976- Ford wins but barely
1972- Nixon wins, Mcgovern win a few more states: Rhode Island, Minnesota, and Oregon
1968- Nixon wins, Wallace wins most of the south
1964-  Johnson Wins, Goldwater wins most of the south
1960-  Kennedy still wins but barely
1952/1956- Ike wins in a landslide
1948- Truman wins by a bigger margin
1944- FDR wins better over Dewey thank Willkie
1940- Willkie does better, gives FDR a race
1936- 48 state landslide, Landon wins Maine and Kansas
1932- FDR wins Pennsylvania and Hoover gets all his other states
1928- Hoover wins but barely
1924- Coolidge does better, La Follete wins several Mid west states
1920- Harding would still win, but by a small margin
1916- Hughes would win
1912- Roosevelt would win, followed by Taft and Debs. Wilson would pull nothing to being a racist and his political views
1908- Taft by a big margin
1904- Roosevelt by a huge margin
1900- McKinley easily wins
1896- Bryan almost wins, but McKinley pulls out a win
