She may not be President yet, but for Hollywood superstar Julia Roberts being number one on the Harris poll's list is just as sweet.

This marks the first year in the poll's history that a female has topped the chart. Not only was she the overall champion, but the survey of 1,065 adults placed the Ocean's Eleven star as the favorite among women and Latinos. She tied Harrison Ford for the the number one spot in movie buffs between the ages 18-29 category.

Tom Hanks took the lead with men and Caucasian Americans while Denzel Washington was number one with African Americans.
