Default Ignitiion switch? issue 01 Dakota 4.7

I've been having an intermittant problem with starting my truck...turn key, nothing, no click, no crank, but all dash electronics fine. Battery new. Keep turning key on and off and eventually fires right up, no problems on the road, no idiot lights. Suspect bad ignition switch, but would like other opinions...thanks!

I had a bad ignition switch on an Accord that I owned. It would quit while driving. That what it sounds like to me.

Sounds like a bad switch but don't rule out a bad connection, loose wire.
