Engagement
A typical post picks up 1.0K interactions against 1.4M followers, an engagement rate of 0.074%. Measured over 62 original posts, its engagement rate beats 68% of 3,758 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 75K times each, and 1.39% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 5.34% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.8 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 62 posts sampled, 26% carry an image or video and 48% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 70K interactions, about 46x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
David Axelrod's engagement rate beats 68% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,758 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 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 60% 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 13:00 UTC, and Monday 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.

Trump just lost it in the Oval Office, yelling at a female reporter: Quiet! quiet! Fake News. You’re a loud, boisterous person. You’re fake news. Be quiet. You’re a fake reporter. https://t.co/chXzMMXTGK

There was plenty senators could have asked Dr. Fauci about what lessons he learned, and the country should, from the COVID pandemic. Instead they engaged in an obvious attempt to demonize and entrap the 85-year-old, who received the Medal of Freedom from a Republican POTUS for the work he did to save millions here and abroad from the AIDS epidemic. This was not about public health. It was about one senators longstanding vendetta.

Ossoff: When you step back and consider it, the situation is absurd. Tech titans dig bunkers and warn us the new intelligence they’re training could lead to mass joblessness or human extinction, while our Congress debates ballrooms and youth sports. We’ve amassed enough firepower to end the world 1,000 times over, but we can’t summon the will to guarantee health care and pre-K. I say all this to say, but it’s the crushing weakness of our politics, against the unmet needs of our people and the massive stakes of our times, that’s shaking our faith in the future. But Atlanta, I refuse to leave my girls a world as dark and dangerous and cruel as this one threatens to become. When Eva is old enough to ask me why I let this happen. I'm determined to answer truthfully, that I didn’t

Please don't overreact to Roberts Court decision on the contemplated USPS ballot moves They simply held that the injunction came too early, before a final rule👇 Now we HAVE a final rule & we will litigate it. I'm as confident in our arguments here as in any of our cases! https://t.co/DVV6f2qLQD

Q: "Within 24 hours you got behind [El-Sayed's] campaign…Why would you do that?" Haley Stevens: "That's called democracy, friend, right? You don't sign up for a Democratic Party to be salty grapes and just continue to hold a grudge. We have seen that play out. No shots here but we've seen that play out with out current president. Some might say Mr. Sanders pursued that approach as well when he didn't win a Democratic nomination."

- What is David Axelrod's engagement rate on X?
- David Axelrod (@davidaxelrod) has an engagement rate of 0.074%, based on the median interactions across 62 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,394,363 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.074%, David Axelrod sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,378 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 @davidaxelrod have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 68% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,758 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 @davidaxelrod post?
- Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.83 posts per day across the measured window.
