Obama has tight grip on Illinois as election approaches

By kmaraghy

President Obama lived in Chicago, before becoming a Senator of Illinois, and in the upcoming election, Real Clear Politics calls Illinois a "solid state" for Obama. A recent Chicago Tribute poll showed Obama leads in the state with 55 percent of votes compared to Romney's 36 percent, with a margin or error of 3.7 percent. College voters in the area, like University of Illinois in Chicago sophomore Giuliana Molinaro, tend to agree. "I do think Obama is looking at the long term, and at the big picture, and what's best for all of America," Molinaro said. Chicago is home to more than 30 universities, with hundreds of thousands of students enrolled.
