A typical post picks up 623 interactions against 700K followers, an engagement rate of 0.089%. Measured over 93 original posts, its engagement rate beats 69% of 3,917 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end.

Posting runs at about 4.4 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 43% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 19:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week.

Compared with accounts its own size
Governor Newsom Press Office's engagement rate beats 69% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,917 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 8 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 70% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 19:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked.

LIKE this tweet if you agree Donald Trump is a bumbling fool, a GLOBAL EMBARRASSMENT, a very tiny and confused man (memory issues) — AND Canada is an AMAZING neighbor filled with GREAT PEOPLE, America’s closest friend, and is our trusted ally!

The level of disrespect. Going after allies. We have to call it out. California is stable. Canada matters. I don’t want to see permanent damage done here. NORAD NATO Five-eyes 60,000 Canadian-born businesses in the Golden State It’s all too important to allow what Trump has done to be permanent.

Yesterday, the Trump Administration moved to end protections for 44 million acres of national forests, opening up logging and road construction in some of our nation’s most pristine public lands. This has been one of the most reckless administrations in American history. California will do whatever it can to protect public lands for generations to come.

Trump is flailing. There’s no other way to describe it. It’s embarrassing for the United States. It’s embarrassing for the people in the United States. As Governor of California, we have a very different view than the occupant of the White House. https://t.co/tz0N56MwpI

Trump is an invasive species. The damage he’s done. It’s going to be long-lasting and that should be concerning to every American. It’s insulting. https://t.co/LFB3dMuB7Z

Texas declared war on climate policy. Now the free market is sending them the bill. FACT: Texas pays $1.1 BILLION MORE in interest per year than California on its debt! Congrats on the hidden MAGA tax!

- Governor Newsom Press Office (@GovPressOffice) has an engagement rate of 0.089%, based on the median interactions across 93 original posts from the last 30 days against 699,884 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.089%, Governor Newsom Press Office sits above the 50th percentile of the 37,856 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @GovPressOffice have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 69% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,917 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.

- Most posts go out around 19:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 4.4 posts per day across the measured window.
