Omaha's DMA spans eastern Nebraska and western Iowa, two states with divergent partisan leans, while Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District—which awards its own Electoral College vote—has split from the statewide result in recent cycles.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 29.2 points in 1932 and a Republican high of 39.2 points in 1972. Between 2020 and 2024 the market moved 1.3 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 10.7 points.
A population of 1,194,983, a 74% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $82,605 describe the market. The market's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Grand Rapids-Kalamazoo-Battle Creek and Indianapolis.

Political twins — media markets
The media markets whose fingerprint — 2000–2024 trajectory, demographics, ancestry, religion — sits closest to this one, and why.
Twin score (0–100) = weighted cosine between tier-standardized fingerprints: presidential margins 2000–2024 with 12-yr trend and elasticity, ACS income, age, education, population and race, top reported ancestries, and religious adherence — chips name the closest-shared dimensions and the widest gap.
