Engagement
A typical post picks up 506 interactions against 890K followers, an engagement rate of 0.057%. Measured over 66 original posts, its engagement rate beats 63% of 3,829 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 30K times each, and 1.69% of those impressions turn into an interaction.

Posting runs at about 4 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 70% of days. Most posts go out around 17:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 66 posts sampled, 71% carry an image or video and 24% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 85K interactions, about 167x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #myfirstev, #calheatscore, #hawkfire.

Compared with accounts its own size
Governor Gavin Newsom's engagement rate beats 63% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,829 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 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 65% 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 17:00 UTC, and Friday 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.

To anyone considering helping President Trump interfere with our election or our count: You will be prosecuted. That’s why I’m moving forward with new legislation that would make it a FELONY to seize ballots before the vote has been certified by state and county officials. https://t.co/5lNEJx3zUI

China is not screwing around. The United States has become a footnote. Supply chains, manufacturing, influence — China is flooding the zone all across the globe. As California doubles down on our low carbon green growth efforts, the Trump admin is doubling down on stupid. https://t.co/4rFH3lHSAt

Dolly Parton was larger than life. She was a phenomenal talent, a prolific singer-songwriter, and even after becoming the best-selling female country music artist of all time, she never forgot where she came from. She cared deeply about early literacy and spreading a love of reading to millions of children around the world — including tens of thousands right here in California. The world will be less sparkly without Dolly, but the joy she brought us and the stories she shared will shine on for generations.

California is creating jobs 3x faster than America as a whole and contributing nearly 1 in 6 jobs added nationwide this year. Fox News and the right-wing trolls are rooting for California to fail, but we keep DOMINATING. We have no peers.

21,000 megawatts of battery storage. It was 770 when @CAGovernor Gavin Newsom started his term. California made a commitment to lead in this space. Now we’re the second largest utility scale battery storage in the world. China, then California. The state hasn’t had a Flex Alert in four years. That’s what battery storage has done.

Your first electric vehicle just got a whole lot cheaper. California is stepping in with thousands of dollars in savings for first-time EV buyers. You can now save up to $3,500 on a new electric car and up to $1,750 when buying used. https://t.co/ItlUiylFSA

California just cemented our status as home to the strongest battery energy storage system in America with 21,000+ megawatts plugged into our power grid. We're powering the fourth-largest economy with clean energy that lasts long after the sun goes down. https://t.co/kJdti2B85V

As Trump cuts federal cybersecurity funding, California is stepping up. We’re launching a first-in-the-nation AI Cyber Defense Program to protect our critical infrastructure and keep essential services safe. AI-enabled cybersecurity threats are no longer hypothetical and we won’t wait for Washington to act.

- What is Governor Gavin Newsom's engagement rate on X?
- Governor Gavin Newsom (@CAgovernor) has an engagement rate of 0.057%, based on the median interactions across 66 original posts from the last 30 days against 890,349 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.057%, Governor Gavin Newsom sits above the 25th percentile of the 37,071 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 @CAgovernor have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 63% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,829 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.
- When does @CAgovernor post?
- Most posts go out around 17:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 3.97 posts per day across the measured window.
