A typical post picks up 257 interactions against 394K followers, an engagement rate of 0.065%. Measured over 41 original posts, its engagement rate beats 64% of 20,182 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 16K times each, and 1.65% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.95% 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, with activity on roughly 73% of days. Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 41 posts sampled, 44% carry an image or video and 24% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 4.5K interactions, about 17x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Governor Bob Ferguson's engagement rate beats 64% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,182 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 61% 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.

Where this sits in the catalog

At 0.065%, Governor Bob Ferguson sits above the 25th percentile of the 203,761 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.024% to 0.142%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 203,761 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,884 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 16:00 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.

Engagement by hour posted, UTCTwenty-four bars, one per UTC hour. Each bar shows how posts published in that hour compare with their own authors' median engagement. Bars above the centre line ran higher than the median, bars below ran lower. A marker flags Busiest hour: 16:00 UTC.

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.

This account's posting mix compared with catalog-wide effects
FormatThis accountCatalog effect95% intervalAccounts behind it

  • 44% 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.
  • 24% 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 428 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above 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.

    Washington state has printed 5 million ballot envelopes. North Carolina has already sent out their absentee ballots. The Trump Administration is trying to cause chaos and disenfranchise voters as we draw near the midterms. We are defending our state from that interference.

    It's morally bankrupt what Congress and President Trump did to kick people off Medicaid.  What we have to do is get to work — we're saving Apple Health coverage for hundreds of thousands of Washingtonians. https://t.co/vJwpbVYqib

    President Trump's chaotic and irrational trade war with Canada will hurt Washingtonians, workers and businesses. Washington is one of the most trade-dependent states in the nation. Canada is one of our most important trading partners: In the first six months of this year, Washington exported more than $4 billion of goods to Canada. I’m looking forward to meeting with Ambassador Wiseman of Canada in the coming weeks to see what we can do to mitigate this situation.

    Our state continues to face significant short-term budget challenges, and this latest forecast does not change that. We have one more revenue forecast and another caseload forecast before I propose my budget in December. These will be critical to understanding the scale of the shortfall we will be facing. My team and I have been working for months to prepare. We are focused on delivering a balanced budget while preserving core services and protecting our state’s most vulnerable. https://t.co/c2qQnVudAE

    I want Washingtonians to know about the upcoming impacts of the Big Bad Betrayal Bill signed by Donald Trump last year. Starting Oct. 1, H.R. 1 drastically limits the Medicaid eligibility for lawfully present immigrants. Before the state took action, 14,000 lawful immigrants were set to lose their Apple Health coverage. Starting Jan. 1, more than 600,000 Washingtonians will be subject to work requirements for the first time in order to keep their Apple Health coverage. These individuals will also be required to reapply twice as frequently. We expect that our nation-leading automated verification hub will help 400,000 Washingtonians stay covered, and we've saved coverage for 3,000 of those Washington immigrants. Our work continues as these draconian impacts approach.

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 257 interactions against 394K followers, an engagement rate of 0.065%. Measured over 41 original posts, its engagement rate beats 64% of 20,182 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 16K times each, and 1.65% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.95% 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, with activity on roughly 73% of days. Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 41 posts sampled, 44% carry an image or video and 24% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 4.5K interactions, about 17x its own typical post.

What is Governor Bob Ferguson's engagement rate on X?
Governor Bob Ferguson (@GovBobFerguson) has an engagement rate of 0.065%, based on the median interactions across 41 original posts from the last 30 days against 394,300 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.065%, Governor Bob Ferguson sits above the 25th percentile of the 203,761 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 @GovBobFerguson have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 64% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,182 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 @GovBobFerguson post?
Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.73 posts per day across the measured window.
