Ted Cruz engagement report

Compared with accounts its own size

Ted Cruz's engagement rate beats 53% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,758 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 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 60% 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.

This ruler is the whole measured catalog, not a size-matched group: it shows where the raw rate falls across every account we can measure, all of which are large. For a like-for-like comparison, read the size-band percentile above instead. See how the bands are built

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 16:00 UTC, and Monday 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.

Recurring topics

The most frequent hashtags in the sampled posts. They describe what this account writes about; they are not a performance signal, and the catalog-wide breakdown on the hub shows how little hashtag count moves.

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 1.1K interactions against 7.1M followers, an engagement rate of 0.016%. Measured over 145 original posts, its engagement rate beats 53% of 3,758 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 99K times each, and 1.15% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.39% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 12.5 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 67% of days. Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 145 posts sampled, 85% carry an image or video and 52% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 72K interactions, about 63x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #chasethefight, #dollyrip, #queenofcountry.

Is that a good engagement rate?

At 0.016%, Ted Cruz sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,521 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.

Its engagement rate beats 53% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,758 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group.

It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
