With Dwayne Johnson openly talking about adding “and politics” to his title as “the most electrifying man in sports and entertainment”, and Public Policy Polling (H/T With Spandex) putting some actual research into the possibility he could win national office in a hypothetical race against the current commander-in-chief, WWE Hall of Famer Donald Trump...
We also looked at Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's prospects if he were to run for President as a Democrat. 36% of voters see Johnson favorably to 13% with a negative view of him, although 50% of voters have no opinion about him either way. Both Democrats (38/15) and Republicans (31/17) see him positively. Johnson would lead Trump 42/37 in a prospective contest, and wins over 15% of people who supported Trump last fall.

The Rock wants to be President of the United StatesWe can smell what The Rock is cooking, and it's a bid to be POTUS

Your turn, Cagesiders. The Rock wants to be President, and we want your jokes about The Great One in The Oval Office.
In this one instance, it DOES matter what you think. So... GO!
