If you're just looking at presidential voting patterns alone, Illinois is clearly the most liberal state in the Midwest, followed by Michigan, followed by a three-way tie between Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Iowa.
Of course, Illinois and to a lesser extent Michigan are more politically polarized states, where the primary cities exert a big effect on the political lean of the state as a whole. In contrast, WI/MN/IA don't really have as stark political divisions. They have plenty of left-leaning rural areas, and even those that are not tend to be pretty moderate.
I would say IL is obviously the most liberal, and Minnesota is a clear second. Then it's a toss up between Michigan and Wisconsin.
Iowa and Ohio are on the same level, which is to say, lean Republican and not all that liberal.
