Steve Hilton engagement report
@SteveHiltonx - 451K followers on X
Measured over 29 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 29, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 3.7K interactions against 451K followers, an engagement rate of 0.83%. Measured over 29 original posts, its engagement rate beats 94% of 4,273 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 27K times each, and 13.9% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 5.95% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 20% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 29 posts sampled, 93% carry an image or video and 21% are part of a thread. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 21K interactions, about 5.6x 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 (4,273 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 7 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 100% 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.

At 0.83%, Steve Hilton sits above the 75th percentile of the 41,299 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the top 25% band, which runs 0.445% to 2.07%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 18:00 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.

🚨 SHOCK POLL: It’s a SINGLE-DIGIT race for governor. Becerra 49% / Hilton 41% / 10% Undecided We’ve cut the margin from 25% ➡️ 8% in less than two months! Our campaign is SURGING; the Machine is reeling. Keep the pressure on! https://t.co/x9L4W4Vwdz

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

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

Ballot harvesting is legal in California—it’s legalized cheating that keeps the Sacramento machine in power. We’re building our own machine to collect those ballots, turn out the majority of Californians sick of the highest taxes, gas prices, and homelessness in America, and finally take our state back.

They're cutting water to Central Valley farmers—and the excuses DON'T ADD UP. We need new people on the State Water Board and common sense solutions: improved storage, smarter forecasting, stopping the ENDLESS delays. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. ☀️ https://t.co/0NSPrZZu91

California water bills are DOUBLE the national average—yet 600,000 are without clean drinking water! ENOUGH. I'll cut costs in HALF and provide abundant water for families, businesses and Central Valley farmers. Here's how: - Invest in water supply infrastructure. - Use modern forecasting technology to capture rainwater. - Resume the projects Sacramento delayed. - Build desalination plants. - Paid for by cutting waste from the bloated state budget. NO NEW TAXES. My CALIFORDABLE plan for abundant, clean, affordable water:

Parents have had ENOUGH of buying back-to-school supplies. California spends nearly $28,000 per student. Yet every year, parents are sent shopping lists for pencils, paper, wipes—the BASICS! We need to make our schools Califordable. Stay tuned for my plan. https://t.co/rDIaGs9f1q

To the Democrats and Independents who still believe in the promise of California: The Sacramento machine has made this state unlivable—the highest gas, housing, and electricity prices in the nation. I came to this state because I believed in the ladder of opportunity for working people. That's not what California is today. This isn't about party. It’s about practical solutions, cutting costs, and restoring that promise. The corrupt Machine has had its chance. California isn’t working. Time to throw out the insiders.
