Fewer than one in five Republican voters want Ronna McDaniel to be Republican National Committee (RNC) chair again, according to a new Rasmussen Reports poll, and of the three candidates — McDaniel, attorney Harmeet Dhillon, and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell — Lindell surpassed Dhillon by a 10-point margin. Republican voters want radical change in their party, and this poll shows that they want an outsider with a track record of defying the establishment to enact that change.
Rasmussen found in its survey of Republican voters that 30% support Mike Lindell for RNC chair, 20% support Harmeet Dhillon, and only 15% support Ronna McDaniel. There is definitely indecision among Republicans too, though, because 15% don’t support any of the three candidates and 21% are undecided. Perhaps that’s due to not paying attention to the race or perhaps to Republicans’ lack of confidence in their own party, which was likely heightened by the failed “red wave” of 2022. Rasmussen said only 20% of all likely U.S. voters think the Republican Party has been “more effective” in the past few years, while 40% say the Democrats were more effective. Only 43% of Republican voters think their party was more effective in electing candidates.
But that does not translate into support for another term for RNC chair, as only 15% want McDaniel to be chair again. Interestingly, when polling all likely voters, including Democrats and independents, Rasmussen said 19% want Dhillon to be RNC chair, while 18% want Lindell, and 12% support McDaniel. Among self-described conservative Republicans, 52% do not want McDaniel to be reelected, while Dhillon and Lindell get 26% each of those voters’ support. One message is very clear—Republicans don’t want McDaniel.
So why was Lindell more popular among Republicans overall? Does Lindell simply have more name recognition?

He has spent large amounts of his own money trying to prove voter fraud in court, including recently funding Republican Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake’s election challenge, and he has stuck to his guns no matter how much hatred he gets. Voters might understandably see that as an encouraging prognostication of Lindell’s actions as RNC chair.
I love Mike Lindell but don’t think he’s a good fit for the job. I’d have to go for Dhillon.
RE: I love Mike Lindell but don’t think he’s a good fit for the job
Can you explain please?
Harmeet seems angry.
Lindell would be in way over his head. So, I’m inclined to believe this “poll” is yet another setup for Republicans.
De-banked and de-platformed, Lindell’s wings are clipped before he even gets started. Dhillion probably didn’t poll higher because most people have never heard of her and know nothing about her opinions. She has not been very controversial, so her name wouldn’t normally come up on Main Stream Media news shows.
Lindell would be a nightmare....
for democrats...
and the anti-Trump media/social media

What’s to stop the usual suspects from doing to Dhillion what they did to Mike?
Lindell is a grifter. His commercials where he’s sporting the big cross, and then has the picture of Jesus and the flag in the background. I mean c’mon....
RE: Lindell is a grifter.
If he is a grifter, he would not have deivered his products when people ordered. I can personally attest that I have several of his pillows and DO like his products.
Says somebody pecking on a key board. Lindell created his own business and has a net worth of about 250 million.

Mike’s pillows are not that great..
Disagree. Lindell is a businessman like Trump.
Isn’t there a $1.3 billion dollar lawsuit pending against Lindell?
My Pillow offers a 60-day money back guarantee.
Perfect.
Dominion will save her!
Sikhs are warriors, she’s also brilliant and pissed-off which make her the ideal choice.
Dominion is trash.
