Dwayne Johnson has just shown some support for a poll that indicates 46% of Americans would support him running for U.S. president. In 2016, Johnson spoke on the possibility of running for president, citing the chance to affect global change as being an alluring reason to take on the role. Following Donald Trump’s election to the highest office in the land five years ago, Johnson said that he couldn’t count out an eventual presidential campaign of his own.
In 2000, Johnson spoke at the National Republican Convention. In 2016 he was a registered Republican, but in 2020, he endorsed Democrat Joe Biden’s presidential campaign in an election that resulted in Biden being elected president. In the trailer for his new show, Young Rock, the titular character runs for president in 2032. This past February, Johnson said that he’d run for president if people wanted him to do so.
Earlier this week, Johnson used his Instagram account to upload a screenshot of a Newsweek article about a poll conducted by Piplsay that purportedly indicates that 46% of Americans would support him running for president. In the caption for the post, he takes a moment to express his gratitude:

According to the poll, 39% of Americans think Hollywood stars can make good politicians, provided they’ve got the political aptitude. Other results showed that 30% of Americans would like to see Angelina Jolie run for president. Another 22% of voters would rather Tom Hanks run for the position. Either way, it seems like a good amount of people are open to celebs running for office in one capacity or another.
Considering that he has, at different points, been the highest-paid actor in Hollywood, this news shouldn’t be all that shocking. With a chiseled physique, endless charisma and, at one time, even a mean catchphrase, Johnson is extremely marketable guy. Over the last 15 years, he’s appeared in numerous big-budget films, most notably as part of the Fast & Furious franchise. The Fast & Furious spinoff Fast & Furious Present: Hobbs & Shaw, a movie he co-starred in with Jason Statham, grossed $760 million at the box office when it was released in 2019. Needless to say, Johnson brings some star power to each film he stars in.
Johnson’s celebrity status on its own doesn’t qualify him to become president. But as evidenced by this poll, his legacy as an entertainer has made a lot of people willing to support his potential run for president. It’s also possible that this poll is being influenced because of the story of Young Rock, which is about his fictional 2032 presidential campaign. Biden has a few more years in office, but based on this poll, it looks like Americans might be interested in seeing more celebrities in the running for the 2024 election.
