Rahm Emanuel has been re-elected mayor of Chicago by a 56 to 44 percent margin . That’s about what I expected when I wrote my Washington Examiner column last month of the mayoral race there. I wrote that Emanuel was amassing an alliance of gentry liberals and blacks. That’s exactly what happened, as the data compiled by Chicago magazine shows.

I have added the results from each of the 50 wards, characterizing them as white-, Hispanic- or black-plurality as Chicago does. I note that two wards which according to census data were white-plurality in 2010 are listed as Hispanic-plurality now; I presume that is the result of significant population shifts. I have further divided these three groups of wards into two each: Lakefront (wards 2, 32, 40, 42-44, 46-50) and Bungalow (1, 11, 19, 38-39, 41, 45) for white-plurality; South Side (10, 12-15, 22-23, 25) and North Side (26, 30-31, 33, 35-36) for Hispanic-plurality; and South Side (3-9, 16-18, 20-21, 34) and West Side (24, 27-29,37) for black-plurality). My numbers will be a little off from the official totals because they are based on 99 percent of precincts reporting and also because of possible arithmetic errors; but the discrepancies seem sure to be insignificant.
