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?

Oh boy, yet another lawyer turned career politician turned party hack.
NO to Lindell. I love Harmeet Dhillon but was surprised she put herself into the running.
Lindell 100%
The apple cart needs to be flipped, dissected and autopsied. Mike Lindell is just the man to do it. He is the establishments worst nightmare.
No. What is it with conservatives lately wanting our crazy front and center? Are we trying to lose?
His personal worth is about $40 million.
More than I have.
But not $250 m.
Lindell sounded like a nut case when he was talking about Trump being reinstated as President on August 13, 2021. I guess if someone is the type to stand in Dealey Plaza waiting for dead Kennedy’s to appear maybe they’d believe him. He needs to keep selling pillows and just donate money, I don’t won’t him in a position to make important political decisions.
We need a lawyer who understands how to prepare the landscape with lawyers ready to fight before election day, and a lawyer who can fight the courts when they play "standing" games.
We need a top lawyer to do that. Lindell is not that person.

When the Rasmussen guy reported this on War Room today, I was surprised, but not disappointed.
“So why was Lindell more popular among Republicans overall?”
Because he gives 110% of himself to whatever he does.
He’s a true believer in MAGA.
He won’t waste the donors’ money — hundreds of thousands of dollars for flowers and tchotchke for high-roller donors.
He’ll fire all the grifting contractors.
People here have said he’s stupid. He’s not stupid.
I see Harmeet as Ronna II.
“Lindell is a grifter.”
I don’t think that word means what you think it means. Seems that you think it means “Christian with a strong testimony”. “Grifter actually means, “person who engages in petty or small-scale swindling”.
“Mike’s pillows are not that great..”
Opinions are like assholes; everybody has one.
We love the pillows. Don’t wake up with headaches any more.
“I love Harmeet Dhillon but was surprised she put herself into the running.”
Maybe she wants a piece of the action that Ronna’s had for six years.
She didn’t even bother to show up for the debate that RAV put on, but sent her speed-talking rep. ONLY Lindell showed up and gave excellent responses to the questions.
Really?
He’s running a company with 1,500 employees net worth $170 M
He stated he would not take a salary.
He and Harmeet would make a great team—she with her law background, he with his marketing.
I wrote state GOP officials today and told them anyone except Ronna—I have some real issues with her stemming from January 6.
Yes. I honestly believe he would have problems dealing with national politics. I’m fine with people disagreeing with me, although the few responses directed toward mine seem to be a bit touchy in nature. Welcome to FR these days.
Oh please!
He’s a former druggie who built a multi-million dollar business from nothing.
He’s been on the frontline fighting election fraud. He backs ONLY Conservative candidates and is funding Kari Lake’s law suit.
What has Ms. Romney or Harmeet done for us?
Exactly, Madam.
no more ‘olde guarde’!!!
the time for moderates has passed.
“Fort Sumter 2.0, like winter, is coming.”
Anyone but the Romney bot.
I would prefer “crank,” but “nut” serves just as well. Like it or not we need a leader whom the media cannot easily portray as being crazy. Lindell’s claims that Trump was going to be reinstated we’re always nuts
Just like tearing down statutes now you think pictures of Jesus and the cross should be hidden. That will be the total demise of this nation.
