DemocraticRepublican
Once a union-Democratic stronghold anchored by the steel industry, the Youngstown media market has swung sharply toward Republican margins over the past decade as deindustrialization and demographic change reshaped voter allegiances across Mahoning and Trumbull counties.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 37.0 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 53.6 points in 1924. Between 2020 and 2024 the market moved 6.2 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 21.5 points.
A population of 637,381, a 83% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $57,498 describe the market. The market's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Erie and Davenport-Rock Island-Moline.
