Title:  

President Obamas Victories in Illinois: 2012 Compared to 2008

 
 Volume/Number:  2013 February 
 Issuing Agency:   
 Description:  This paper describes and analyzes President Obamas 2012 election victory in Illinois and compares it to his earlier victory in 2008 in his home state. It also extends the analysis back through the 2004 and 2000 presidential elections and shows how those results were similar and where they differed. It primarily relies on the county and county election returns supplemented by U. S. Census data as the unit of analysis. The paper sets Illinois into a national electoral context describing what is happening in an era of deep partisan polarization coupled with the prospects for a partisan realignment.
