Engagement
Early reading. We have captured 2 original posts for this account, below the 8 we require before treating a median as settled. The numbers above describe what we have seen so far, not a finished profile of the account.
A typical post picks up 3.9K interactions against 576K followers, an engagement rate of 0.671%. Posts are seen about 262K times each, and 1.47% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 45.5% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.17 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 17% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 2 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 6.0K interactions, about 1.6x its own typical post. Only 2 original posts have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 11:00 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. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Zur Neuwahl des Fraktionsvorsitzenden der @cducsubt haben @Markus_Soeder und ich heute Thorsten Frei vorgeschlagen. Thorsten Frei hat einen maßgeblichen Anteil am bisherigen Erfolg der Regierungsarbeit und der Stabilität der Koalition. Die Reformerfolge der letzten Wochen sind auch sein Verdienst. Er kommt aus der Mitte der Fraktion und wird dort für das perfekte Zusammenspiel zwischen Parlament, Koalitionspartner und Bundesregierung sorgen.

Der Südwesten war immer das Powerhouse der Republik. Am Sonntag müssen wir die Weichen wieder richtig stellen. Es geht um eine starke Wirtschaft und sichere Arbeitsplätze. In unsicheren Zeiten braucht es immer die @CDU. https://t.co/Cy3gYPXNHO

Wir sind die Partei der Optimisten. Wir sind die Partei der Anpacker. Wir sind die Partei des Ausgleichs der Generationen. Wir sind die Partei, die sich auf einem festen Fundament von Werten mit Freude und Optimismus der Zukunft zuwendet. Das ist die @cdu. #cdupt26 https://t.co/c4iWOEC2aH

Die Geschichte lehrt uns: Beschwichtigung schafft keinen Frieden. Sie ermutigt den Aggressor. Wer heute einem naiven Pazifismus folgt, befördert die Kriege von morgen. #cdupt26

Wir suchen transatlantische Übereinstimmungen. Deshalb habe ich immer deutlich gemacht: Wichtige Ziele der USA teilen wir. Aber wir dürfen und wir werden uns auch nicht scheuen, unseren Partnern ehrlich zu sagen, wo wir Dinge anders sehen und wo wir andere Interessen haben. Das muss eine solche Partnerschaft aushalten. #Iran
