We investigate the radial symmetry of minimizers on the Pohozaev-Nehari manifold to the Schrödinger Poisson equation with a general nonlinearity $f(u)$. Particularly, we allow that $f$ is $L^2$ supercritical. The main result shows that minimizers are radially symmetric modulo suitable translations.
