PITTSBURGH — A focus group of Pittsburgh-area
voters, conducted Tuesday night by pollster Peter Hart on behalf of
Emory University, revealed bipartisan disappointment in the tenor of
Trump's leadership during the first seven months of his presidency.
Asked to describe the president in a single
word, participants called Trump “outrageous,” “dishonest,”
“disappointing” “narcissistic,” “an abject disappointment,” “unique,”
“not ready to be president,” “off the scale,” “crazy,” “unbelievable”
and “contemptible.”
Five of the group's 12 members voted for
Trump, and each expressed concern about his failure to dislodge D.C.
gridlock — plus his habit of punching down on Twitter.
“What most disappoints me is he’s such an

that I hold dear,” said Tony Sciullo, a Trump voter who now calls the
president an “abject disappointment.” Sciullo added, “The messenger is
overwhelming the message.”
