Political Momentum Index
The Political Momentum Index evaluates deliberate online engagement across official political channels. This metric tracks intentional attention, velocity, and interaction density on long-form content rather than traditional polling or voter preference surveys.
1. Intentional Viewing: Evaluates horizontal long-form video uploads. Algorithmic short-form feeds under 60 seconds are explicitly filtered out to isolate active discovery from passive impressions.
2. Relative Acceleration: Compares rolling 14-day view averages against 60-day historical channel baselines to measure true momentum over raw channel size.
3. Interaction Density: Quantifies active audience participation (likes and comments relative to view volume) to calculate overall engagement depth.
