A typical post picks up 168 interactions against 684K followers, an engagement rate of 0.025%. Measured over 55 original posts, its engagement rate beats 47% of 3,829 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 12K times each, and 1.46% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.69% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.1 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 70% of days. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 55 posts sampled, 51% carry an image or video and 13% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 50K interactions, about 299x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Senator Dick Durbin's engagement rate beats 47% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,829 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 8 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 62% 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.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 37,037 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 105,893 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 14:00 UTC, and Thursday 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.

    Dr. Fauci is a deeply caring physician, a brilliant scientist, an extraordinary public servant, a humanitarian, & a patriot—whose work has helped save tens of millions of lives. It is a shame to watch him be dragged in front of Congress in the name of bogus conspiracy theories.

    Dr. Fauci deserves an apology for the way he was treated by my Republican colleagues. https://t.co/DH0b4M3PSQ

    The decision of whether to run for re-election has not been easy. I truly love the job of being a United States Senator. But in my heart, I know it’s time to pass the torch. So, I am announcing today that I will not be seeking re-election at the end of my term. https://t.co/eiBTPjToFT

    It was an embarrassment to watch my Republican colleagues berate and belittle Dr. Fauci for nearly three hours last week. If they had genuine concern for America’s public health, they would turn their attention instead to the destruction wrought by the Trump Administration’s anti-science agenda.

    It was a grave mistake for the Senate to approve Todd Blanche as the next Attorney General. If there is ever a moment in history when we need an AG above reproach, who is dedicated to ending corruption, it is right now. This nation deserves an Attorney General who loves the Constitution more than he loves the President. Sadly, Todd Blanche is not that person.

    Todd Blanche told me privately that he “made a mistake” creating the MAGA slush fund. I asked him about it under oath. And he lied to Congress. His willingness to casually lie under oath shows how far he will go to avoid offending his only boss: Donald Trump.

    It is a sad day indeed when leaders use their authority in ways that cause harm, feed ego, or damage individuals who have spent their lives in service to others. Dr. Fauci deserves better.

    Todd Blanche told me privately that the MAGA slush fund he created was a “mistake.” A direct quote. Now he’s lying about it. Todd Blanche either has a short memory… or is lying for Donald Trump.

    Article I Section 8 of the Constitution makes clear that Congress, and ONLY Congress, has the power to declare war. Trump decided to go to war with Iran exclusively on his own, and we are all paying the price. https://t.co/qyDN0w3oHQ

    Under Trump and RFK Jr., measles cases have hit a 35-year high, whooping cough has resurged, & Americans are increasingly dying from preventable diseases. Their latest decision to upend the childhood immunization schedule will only make our kids sicker & must be immediately reversed.

What is Senator Dick Durbin's engagement rate on X?
Senator Dick Durbin (@SenatorDurbin) has an engagement rate of 0.025%, based on the median interactions across 55 original posts from the last 30 days against 683,669 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.025%, Senator Dick Durbin sits above the 25th percentile of the 37,037 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 @SenatorDurbin have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 47% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,829 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 @SenatorDurbin post?
Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.1 posts per day across the measured window.
