A typical post picks up 603 interactions against 655K followers, an engagement rate of 0.092%. Measured over 26 original posts, its engagement rate beats 69% 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 4.06% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.27% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.2 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 67% of days. Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 26 posts sampled, 27% carry an image or video and 15% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 29K interactions, about 47x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Tammy Duckworth's engagement rate beats 69% 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 85% 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 0.092%, Tammy Duckworth sits above the 25th percentile of the 205,048 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.024% to 0.143%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 205,048 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,894 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
Image or video27% of posts+111%+108% to +115%34K

  • 27% 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.
  • 15% 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 228 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters match the same accounts' other posts almost exactly.

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.

    Ectopic pregnancy deaths have nearly doubled in post-Roe America. The rates are even worse in states with abortion bans. When we warned them women would die, they didn't listen. This was preventable.

    Arlington Cemetery is hallowed ground. A final resting place for our fallen heroes who were brave enough to serve. How dare this five-time draft dodger dishonor them by trying to erect a monument to his own vanity? Veterans will not let him get away with it. https://t.co/iIRSXkEF0l

    71 years ago, 14-year-old Emmett Till was lynched by white supremacists.   His mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, held an open-casket wake so the world could see what hatred had done to her son.   We will never let their history be erased or forgotten. https://t.co/iy2WUY4IhG

    There is no greater betrayal to our troops than their own family being deported by the same nation they sacrificed to defend. You can't ask our heroes to focus on the mission while their spouse or kid is locked up, marked for deportation. It's cruel and makes us all less safe. https://t.co/gUQxMTk1wv

    Our troops deserve a Secretary of Defense who doesn’t just thank them for their service, but gives them a plan, a strategy and an endgame so they can safely return home to their families.   Pete Hegseth is a failure.

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 603 interactions against 655K followers, an engagement rate of 0.092%. Measured over 26 original posts, its engagement rate beats 69% 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 4.06% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.27% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.2 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 67% of days. Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week.

What is Tammy Duckworth's engagement rate on X?
Tammy Duckworth (@SenDuckworth) has an engagement rate of 0.092%, based on the median interactions across 26 original posts from the last 30 days against 655,323 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.092%, Tammy Duckworth sits above the 25th percentile of the 205,048 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 @SenDuckworth have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 69% 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 @SenDuckworth post?
Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.23 posts per day across the measured window.
