It has been debated if the Presence is omnipotent or not since he was not able to kill The Great Evil Beast, and they later merged so you could say that the resulting being was omnipotent. It was shown that he was not able to shape himself as Yahweh and characters like Michael Demiurgos had the potential to succeed him against his will, not to mention that in Lucifer he stated that he was shaped by forces external to himself (said forces being the beliefs and imaginations of humanity).
However, as of Final Crisis, Monitor-Mind the Overvoid is hinted to be omnipotent, although it is still questionable, as Monitor-Mind the Overvoid seemingly had trouble dealing with Creation. Different stories portray it as being the "creator of DC Comics" and thus transcending all things with the Presence itself being its representation within Creation. Like characters that are omnipresent, there exists only one, and in all realities at once.
Currently, the Presence is "only" seen as nigh-omnipotent. This is due to the fact that as of the recent 2015 Lucifer comic book series, the Presence has apparently been killed by an unknown form of metal invading his body wielded by the Archangel Gabriel.
