“In an Obama-McCain matchup, voters who attended college prefer Obama while those who did not attend prefer McCain. The poll suggests that there would be essentially no educational differences in a Clinton-McCain matchup.”

Hillary Clinton was still popular in Applachia because of Bill Clinton.

It's kind of funny looking back that Obama was once considered the candidate for elites and Hillary was who Real America wanted. Oh how times change...

2008 was on the same trendline as 2016 for sure.  2012 was a step back.  2020 was also a (milder) step back despite how it's often presented.
