Engagement
A typical post picks up 206 interactions against 695K followers, an engagement rate of 0.03%. Measured over 14 original posts, its engagement rate beats 50% of 20,444 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 15K times each, and 1.33% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.23% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 33% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 09:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 14 posts sampled, 86% carry an image or video and 7% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 2.4K interactions, about 11x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #urmodem, #faceaface, #section.

Compared with accounts its own size
François Bayrou's engagement rate beats 50% 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 55% 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 0.03%, François Bayrou sits above the 25th percentile of the 205,261 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.024% to 0.143%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 09:00 UTC, and Sunday 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 | 86% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 7% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | -3% | -3% to -2% | 54K |
- 86% 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.
- 7% 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 164 characters, which falls in the 80 - 180 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 80 to 180 characters run 3% below the same accounts' other posts.
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.

Il n'y a pas un pays dans le monde qui se soit relevé de l'extrême droite ou de l'extrême gauche parce qu'ils organisent la guerre civile dans le pays. On est sous le coup d'une double menace létale ! #AlerteSurLaFranceQuiVient https://t.co/kzOyAxefYk

Thierry Breton est le seul responsable politique en Europe qui ait résisté à Trump et résisté à Poutine. Je ne suis pas payé pour faire sa pub, mais je dis le plus profond de ce que je pense : il est capable de rassembler large pour 2027. #AlerteSurLaFranceQuiVient https://t.co/JFMRuKq7Hc

Aujourd'hui, s'il y avait un 1er tour de l'élection présidentielle dispersé, ça voudrait dire Mélenchon-Le Pen au 2e tour : deux mâchoires de la tenaille qui sont mortelles pour le pays. Je pense à une compétition loyale entre tous ceux qui refusent les extrêmes. https://t.co/9Cp6KEEFdk

Je lis avec grand intérêt les élucubrations journalistiques qui annoncent depuis deux jours, quasi-officiellement, un « pacte » qui m’associerait à François Hollande !… Le seul à qui ils ont « oublié » de poser la question, même en passant, c’est moi. Je crains de les décevoir.

Lorsque vous voyez venir un danger, un risque, une menace terrible sur la société française, vous avez le choix quand vous êtes au gouvernement : pousser la poussière sous le tapis ou choisir de dire la vérité.

- What is François Bayrou's engagement rate on X?
- François Bayrou (@bayrou) has an engagement rate of 0.03%, based on the median interactions across 14 original posts from the last 30 days against 695,354 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.03%, François Bayrou sits above the 25th percentile of the 205,261 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 @bayrou have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 50% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 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 @bayrou post?
- Most posts go out around 09:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.03 posts per day across the measured window.
