Live Poll: First Hispanic American President
Almost all presidents in the history of the United States were white caucasian males. The sole exception was Barack Obama, the first black American president. Currently, over 10% of the population of the United States is Hispanic. Therefore some people say the next American president might well be Hispanic.
Now let's assume for a second that only movie stars could apply. Which Hispanic actor/actress should run for next president of the United States?
(only American actors/actresses over 42 years old, the age of Theodore Roosevelt when he was elected, America's youngest president ever)
List: http://www.imdb.com/list/ls068035727/

Sorry but no more actors or actresses should run for president (at least without being elected to congress, governorship, senate, etc...) no matter their ethnicity.
So none of the above really needs to be an answer here.

You should stick to the constitutional requirements, rather than setting your own (American, min. age 42) for clarity. Even for entertainment purposes, it will eliminate Hispanics who would get support, but wouldn't qualify (naturalized Americans). Spelling them out might be helpful as 70% of IMDb users are from outside the USA and even most Americans don't know all of them. Also, changing the question to "would you support" focuses more on the hypothetical and favorite/best qualified aspect without getting into whether they are actually the best candidates. You are simply asking which is the best of this group with a shared heritage?
Which Hispanic actor/actress* would you support to be the President of the United States? * Hispanic heritage, 35 years of age or older at time of inaugration, a natural born American citizen and resided in USA at least 14 years
You should remove Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, Andy Garcia and Ana Alicia from the list. All are ineligible to be the president of the USA, as they are not natural born American citizens.
Possible Candidates: TOP 100 HISPANIC ACTORS [assuming 25% minimum Hispanic (ie. one grandparent), 35 years of age or older, a natural born American citizen and resided in USA at least 14 years.]
Martin Sheen aka Ramón Antonio Gerard Estevez
Cameron Diaz
Michael Peña
Louis C.K. aka Louis Szekely
Jessica Alba
Zoe Saldana
Alexis Bledel
Rosario Dawson
Jay Hernandez
Wilmer Valderrama
Eva Longoria
Robert Rodriguez
Hector Elizondo
Michelle Rodriguez
Hulk Hogan aka Terry Eugene Bollea
Raquel Welch aka Jo Raquel Tejada
America Ferrera (eligible to run for 2020 election)
Aubrey Plaza (eligible to run for 2020 election)

This article is interesting:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/25/latino-philanthropists-_n_3989013.html
Out of everyone listed, the only people eligible are Rosario Dawson, George Lopez, Eva Longoria, Mark Anthony, Jennifer Lopez and Rico Rodriguez, and NONE of them have anywhere near the stature to even run.

The problem, as I see it, is in your intro. Your poll is supposed to highlight the contribution of Hispanic culture, and people of Hispanic (or Latin) background, but this has nothing to do with ethnicity, because 'Latin' people have mixed origins (African, European, Indian etc.), so it has nothing to do with the 'skin factor', so there's no need to mention the fact that the former Presidents were white, unless you meant white-anglo-saxon-Protestant.
If you replace white by WASP and mention Kennedy and Obama as the exception, the question will work just fine.
