Steve Hilton engagement report
@SteveHiltonx - 467K followers on X
Measured over 92 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 23, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 3.0K interactions against 467K followers, an engagement rate of 0.656%. Measured over 92 original posts, its engagement rate beats 94% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 25K times each, and 11.8% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 5.40% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 5.2 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 60% of days. Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 92 posts sampled, 91% carry an image or video, 20% are part of a thread and 9% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 21K interactions, about 7.0x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #b, #morehuman.

Compared with accounts its own size
Steve Hilton's engagement rate beats 94% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 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 99% 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 18:00 UTC, and Tuesday 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.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 91% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 9% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 91% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 9% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
- Its average post runs 271 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters match the same accounts' other posts almost exactly.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

As Californians learn about Xavier Becerra's record as HHS Secretary, sending thousands of Latino kids into the clutches of child sex and labor traffickers, his support is COLLAPSING. He's gone from a 25% lead to 18%, now 8%. Our momentum is real. Keep fighting for change! https://t.co/Y4nk1iplPP

I still can't believe the energy in East LA! There's a revolution happening in California being led by the people. Every city, every neighborhood...we're DONE with the insiders. And together, we'll throw them out! https://t.co/v2E1gSCA0T

Everywhere you go in LA, you see people living in absolute SQUALOR, in desperate need of our help. Shame on our USELESS leaders: Xavier Becerra, Gavin Newsom, Karen Bass! This is the second city of America, in the richest state. We have to save it in November. Enough is enough! https://t.co/CD5gsMx8wj

🚨 LA has 50,000 street vendors. Only 687 have permits! Small businesses pay tax, rent and insurance, while vendors camp out and STEAL their customers. Sacramento Democrats legalized this madness in 2018. I’ll BAN it. ENOUGH of the unfair competition! https://t.co/DCQECc42hi

OCEANO DUNES: Birthplace of the dune buggy, $500 million a year for the local economy...the Coastal Commission wants it CLOSED. Why? Because they're JOYLESS bureaucrats who don't want anyone to have fun! That’s why we’re creating OFF: The Office of Fun and Freedom. Its only job: get rid of rules, not write new ones.

Central Valley today and oh look! High Speed Rail! Except there aren't any trains... Becerra says he'll finish it "on time and on budget." On time was six years ago! I've got a better idea: end this farce, save the money, use it to cut your taxes - Your First $150k Tax Free. https://t.co/nqrOhl6SeT

The Sacramento machine was ALL IN on Eric Swalwell until his Chinese spy scandal and sexual assault allegations. Now they’ve moved on to their next puppet, Xavier Becerra, as if nothing ever happened. The whole system is so corrupt. Time for them to go! https://t.co/hoaa4duqbs

$700 a year to register a motorcycle??? These bikers in San Gabriel are DONE getting gouged. That's why we're abolishing the DMV and capping vehicle registration fees. Car, truck, motorcycle...it won't matter. No one pays more than $73. https://t.co/VgU4gpbVKg
