Just one day before the U.S. presidential election, voters of Chicago, the hometown of incumbent President barack Obama, are still not so affirmative about their choice.

However, Hispanic American Pamela Fabre, a first time voter, said she was sure her choice, President Obama, will win.

Fabre told Xinhua that she thinks there's been a big change in the last four years. "I'm with Obama because he helps lift up big companies like the car companies that are on edge of bankruptcy, and he wants to have the Dream Act." Many of her fellow university students also supported Obama, she added.

Young voters are a crucial voting block for the president in 2008, and the Obama campaign hopes they will be motivated to post a strong turnout on the Election Day Tuesday.

Obama's supporter Darryl Daniels said he was actually more excited for this election than the one four years ago, as he thought it represented a more substantial reflection on presidential leadership.

"I'm actually more enthusiastic about this election than last election, because I felt last election was more of an election where you have this new voice that's bringing about change and things of that nature -- the right things that the American public wanted and needed to hear at that time because of the floundering economy," Daniels told Xinhua.

"It was one thing to vote for a guy because you like the way he speaks; it's another thing to vote for a guy because you like the way he's led you. And that's what I think this election is about -- do you like the way he's led this country for the past four years, or do you think that you want someone new?" Daniels added.

But after millions of dollars in negative campaign ads, daily phone calls to get out the vote and constant media coverage, some Chicago residents said they are sick of the election, hoping it is to be over soon.

"I feel that a lot of people near the end of the election are sick and just want it to be over," Brian Hurley, a supporter of Obama's challenger, Mitt Romney, said in an interview.

He said he was not enthusiastic about the election this year due to both "overblown" news coverage and the electoral college system that he feels take away some voters' power at the ballot box.

"Because of the electoral college, my decision to vote for candidate Romney is wiped out because I vote in a state which is not only President Obama's home state, but also extremely democratic. Because our election is done via electoral college, the popular vote is almost irreverent," Hurley said.

Still, Hurley said he would cast a ballot Tuesday for Romney because he thought the former Massachusetts governor had a better understanding of the economy, though Hurley criticized both candidates for being too vague in their belief and many promises.

One disgruntled man who asked not to be named even said both choices were bad.

"It's not going to be good no matter which one gets in," he said, adding that he might write-in a presidential candidate instead of picking Obama or Romney, or vote for a lesser known political party like the Libertarians or Green Party.

Four years ago, after being elected, Obama said to the tens of thousands of cheering supporters in the city's Grant Park that "Change" had come to America, calling on U.S. citizens to come together to meet the challenges ahead.

Now in 2012, the Obama "Change" slogan has been replaced with simply "Forward," and Grant Park will be empty Tuesday night as the Obama campaign's Election Night rally is moved to a more closed-off location at the McCormick Convention Center.

Voters' enthusiasm for the 2012 race is also dwindling. According to a Gallup poll released on Oct. 28, 83 percent of respondents rated themselves 10 on a scale of 10 as likely to vote, down from the 86 percent posted in 2008.

Polls in Chicago are scheduled to open from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. (1200 GMT to 0100 GMT Wednesday) Tuesday. Obama planned to return home to Chicago later Monday, where he will spend the Election Day and hold his post-election rally -- win or lose.

A final survey of the campaign by CNN and the Opinion Research Center showed the race as a dead heat on Monday, with Obama and Romney tied at 49 percent.
