Create your own US election cabinet with stars like Taylor Swift & The Rock

Scroll to find the top 30 celebrities who would make a good US president

AN interactive US election tool allows you to create your own ideal presidential cabinet, with stars including Taylor Swift and George Clooney.

You can use the tool to curate exactly who you'd want to make the top decisions in the US - from Secretary of State to Vice President.

Michelle Obama was chosen to lead the country as president, with Tom Hanks as her vice president.

While Oprah Winfrey was deemed the best secretary of state.

A spokesperson from Lottoland.co.uk, which commissioned the survey for the US Lottos, Powerball and MegaMillions, said: "The US is home to many popular faces.

"As recent history has shown, celebrity and political power in the USA has become even more inter-linked, with Arnie being governor of California - and of course, Donald Trump becoming president.

"But this has historical precedence too, former president Ronald Reagan who was in power in the 1980s, was a former actor too."

The research also found 34 per cent of adults believe celebrities with huge platforms have a 'duty' to share their political views with others.

But 39 per cent admit they don't like it when celebrities air their thoughts about politics over social media.

When it comes to being in the top job, 75 per cent reckon leadership is the top attribute a candidate needs.

Second on the list is decisiveness (69 per cent) followed by integrity (68 per cent) and communication skills (67 per cent).

A third (34 per cent) believe a celebrity's fame better qualifies them to connect with voters, than someone who is a career politician.

And 37 per cent believe stars can bring charisma to a political role normal politicians may lack.

While authors topped the list of celebrities which might make the best President with 14 per cent of the vote, 13 per cent opted for actors - and just three per cent for musicians.

But 50 per cent reckon a celeb's social media following would give them an advantage in an election, according to the OnePoll.com figures.

The spokesperson from Lottoland.co.uk added: "It's really interesting to see how many Brits are so invested in US politics.
