Bernie Sanders was able to hold frontrunner Hillary Clinton to a narrow 2-point margin in her birth-state of Illinois, by winning with voters under the age of 45 (70%-30%) who made up 39% of the electorate and white voters (57-42) who made up 58% of the electorate. He also won men, 53-45. According to exit polls, Sanders narrowly won the Hispanic/Latino vote 50-49. However, Clinton won with African American voters (70-30), women (55-45), and older voters (63-36), especially senior citizens (70-29), thus narrowly carrying the state in which she was born.
