Measured over 84 original posts, its engagement rate beats 41% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end.

Compared with accounts its own size
Jake Tapper 🦅's engagement rate beats 41% 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 36% 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 20:00 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.

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 | 64% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 36% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | -3% | -3% to -2% | 54K |
- 64% 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.
- 36% 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 160 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.

WOAH 🚨 Lead Anchor at CNN Jake Tapper comes out and admits THEY ALL KNEW Joe Biden wasn’t really President and calling the shots He says there was an elite inner circle of advisors who would make the decisions and “steer the country.” He gives the names of the people in that group Again, the mainstream media ALL KNEW Joe Biden wasn’t making decisions “Tell me about the word choice, and then tell me about those people who were really calling the shots around the president.” Jake Tapper “So the Politburo, not a term we came up with, it's a term from within the Biden administration, as the name would suggest is a tightly held group of senior advisors — these were the individuals that help steer the government.” The mainstream media was in on the coverup. How are there no consequences for these people

My 9 year old was fine on Thursday - laughing, running, joking. Then he wasn't. He got sick on Friday - just another virus we thought. Saturday he woke up talking complete gibberish to us - "get to the ER" we thought. 11 hours in the ER, and he was getting worse: - Delirium - Hallucinations - Then seizures Sunday - 30 electrodes strapped to his skull. Neuro surgery was consulted. We came very close to intubating him and having a drain put into his skull. Thankfully it didn't come to that. Graham got viral encephalitis - an infection from a common virus that went to his brain and put pressure on his neurons. He's turned a major corner, and its now day 12 of being in the hospital away from his brothers, friends and dog, Koda. He is better, and will continue to get better, but slowly. Thank you to everyone who has reached out to help and offer prayers. Thank you for understanding my absence and quiet from your lives. Here is a page I put up so anyone can follow along as he recovers: https://t.co/pdn4ciSAG7 Hug your kids, and of course, Light that fire! Mike

🧵 I just witnessed ~45 minutes of footage of the October 7th terrorist attack at the @AtlanticCouncil courtesy of @IsraelinUSA along with colleagues from think tanks across the ideological spectrum. What I saw was worse than I’ve ever seen. Pure evil. ***Trigger Warning***

Happy Birthday weekend to my Wild and Crazy older brother Steve Martin. There would be no Blues Brothers without the patronage of this generous, brilliant, magnificently talented master musician, comedian, author, actor and eclecticist. He invited John and I to open for him during his shows in California from which we made the multi-platinum selling Briefcase Full of Blues. Young actors today ask me for advice. Read Steve’s Born Standing Up and Troubadour. He has my blood if he needs it.
Ranked by total interactions across everything we have tracked for this account, which is a longer history than the 30-day window the rates above use. The multiple compares each post to this account's own median.

- What is Jake Tapper 🦅's engagement rate on X?
- Jake Tapper 🦅 (@jaketapper) has an engagement rate of 0.017%, based on the median interactions across 84 original posts from the last 30 days against 3,216,091 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.017%, Jake Tapper 🦅 sits above the 10th percentile of the 204,583 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 @jaketapper have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 41% 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 @jaketapper post?
- Most posts go out around 20:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 19.07 posts per day across the measured window.
