Some of Hollywood's biggest names have a history of dipping into politics, and one of today's most popular stars might have his eyes on the White House.

A recent poll done by Piplsay asked 30,138 people if they would vote for WWE legend Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson if he ran for president, while also asking if they would support Interstellar star Matthew McConaughey if he ran for Texas governor.

The Oscar-winning actor recently called running for Texas governor "a true consideration," while the retired pro-wrestler said in an interview with USA Today that he would run for president if the people wanted him to.

The poll found that 12% of people only support McConaughey's possible run, while 17% would only like to see Johnson's candidacy.

But 29% actually support both potential candidates, meaning 58% of people would like to see either both or just one of them take political office, while the other 42% believe they should stay out of it or are not sure.
