CHICAGO--White House hopeful Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) has another fund-raiser in the Los Angeles area this week; California continues to be his most fertile ground to dig up campaign dollars. Goldman Sachs remains one of the top employers of Obama givers.
But his friends and supporters Chicago lead in metro area giving. Most specifially, Obama's best zip code is 60614. That near downtown zipcode also scoops in people who list their office address on official records instead of their residence.
The top zip codes for Obama are 60614 in Chicago; 10021 in Manhattan; 60611, 60610 in Chicago and 20008 in northwest Washington D.C.

HOW TO READ THESE CHARTS: Presidential candidates generally raise the vast majority of their campaign dollars from donors in states with the largest concentrations of population and wealth: New York, California, Florida, Washington, D.C., Illinois and Texas. In addition, they may also receive significant amounts from within their home state, depending on the size of the state and the wealth of its economic base.
"No State" means that there was no state listed on contribution report.

Campaign financing numbers out of the Democratic presidential race are expected to show a widening dollar lead for Obama over Hillary Clinton, and possibly another obstacle to Clinton’s effort to stay competitive in the last 10 nominating contests yet to be held.
