Dec 2016

I was just comparing the 2012 and 2016 exit polls.
2012: http://www.cnn.com/election/2012/results/race/president/
2016: http://edition.cnn.com/election/results/exit-polls

Clinton's performance compared to Obama:

GENDER
Worse among men
Better among women

RACE
Same among whites (!!)
Worse among blacks
Worse among Latinos
Worse among Asians
Worse among other race

EDUCATION:
High school or less:
24% of voters in 2012: Obama 53%, Romney 46%
18% of voters in 2016: Clinton 46%, Trump 51%
Some college:
29% of voters in 2012: Obama 49%, Romney 48%
32% of voters in 2016: Clinton 43%, Trump 51%

INCOME
Worse among voters earning less than 50k
Better among voters earning more than 50k

UNION HOUSEHOLD
Worse among "yes"
Worse among "no"

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS
Worse among "offer legal status"
Worse among "deport"

FAVORABLE / UNFAVORABLE OPINION of Clinton and Obama
Much worse (Obama's favorable percentage stayed about the same in the 2012 & 2016 polls too)
