Facing four challengers in the Chicago mayoral elections, Rahm Emanuel may come up short of the 50% needed to avoid a runoff. Even with President Obama in town to campaign for him, a runoff against Jesus “Chuy” Garcia looks likely.

Can Obama provide Rahm the bump he needs in the Chicago polls on Tuesday? http://t.co/CDcDlvRc56 pic.twitter.com/F6nX5HeWC3

Well, we're looking at the wards in, and the margins, with 71%…
our call: Mayor Rahm Emanuel will face a runoff race against Chuy Garcia.— Decision Desk HQ (@DecisionDeskHQ) February 25, 2015
Make no mistake: this is utter humiliation for Rahm Emanuel. Not only will not avoid runoff, he's running dismally low. And I voted for him.

All polls are now closed in Chicago. Very thankful for our supporters and volunteers. #ChicagoElection2015

Gonna be hugely entertaining to see Rahm Emanuel do an apology tour over the next month to voters of Chicago.
It's not a strength of his.

Mayor's office sends out note he will have no public events tomorrow.
