As in many states, Obama has a strong lead among women in Illinois, but not among men. He leads 55% to 35% among women, but just 43% to 40% among male voters.The two candidates are essentially tied among voters not affiliated with either major political party.
While 31% of Illinois voters believe McCain is too old to be president, 38% think Obama is too inexperienced for the job. National results for these questions and other key stats for Election 2008 are updated continuously at Obama-McCain By the Numbers.
Both candidates are viewed favorably by 60% of Illinois voters.
Not surprisingly, a plurality of voters in Illinois (49%) sees the economy as the most important issue of Election 2008. National security comes in a distant second, with 20% who find that to be the most important issue. These are similar to the national average. Voters who cite the economy as the top issue are more likely to choose Obama. Those who think national security is more important more often back McCain.
Most (56%) Illinois voters see getting the troops home from Iraq as more important than winning the war while 35% disagree and think winning the war is more important.
