His tweet was in response to a movement, launched on Friday, to draft him as an independent candidate for president.

"The country is heading towards a disastrous election and Dwayne Johnson is the only one who could launch a winning independent campaign in time," according to the website DwayneForPresident.com. "This is not just a movement of The Rock's biggest fans. It is a combined effort of people who have seriously analyzed the possibilities and people who already know and love The Rock."

The campaign for President Rock emerged just as a new Gallup Poll, released Friday, indicates Republican voters are becoming increasingly cynical about the way the election process works in America. Of the 1,012 people surveyed from any party, only 30 percent said the process was working the way it should, down from 37 percent who said the same thing in January.
