Breaking: Roy Cooper Dominates Michael Whatley in “Silent Treatment” Poll – 87% of Voters Just Don’t Respond

Wait, no – we don’t mean that kind of poll.

In a bizarre twist of political irony, a new “ghost poll” is going viral after someone jokingly asked North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper and RNC Chair Michael Whatley to participate in a spontaneous audience survey at a diner. Cooper allegedly smiled and waved; Whatley reportedly asked for the question in writing, three times.

Here’s why it’s trending:

The irony?
Roy Cooper, a Democrat in a swing state famous for barely winning elections, somehow appears more relaxed under pressure than the man who runs the entire Republican National Committee. The internet is now gleefully redefining “poll” as “the look on Whatley’s face when he realizes he can’t filibuster a plate of hash browns.”

The punchline:
If this “poll” were an election, Cooper would win by a landslide – and Whatley would demand a recount of the ketchup packets.

No actual data exists. No one called anyone. But the meme is real, and it’s devastating. 😅🇺🇸
