I'm not totally surprised by the margin. In a Democratic Primary in Illinois, you can figure about 67% of the vote will come from Cook County. Cook County is not tailored to be a strong area for Sanders. He will probably lose 90-10 in a lot of the Chicago Wards Also, the Dems strongholds downstate tend to be more blue collar working class (e.g. manufacturing and mining areas) and I don't see them turning out for Sanders either.
I'd venture to guess that Sanders strongest areas will be the better educated and higher income suburbs, but that will be nowhere enough to offset Chicago and downstate.
