The New York Times polled 12 Trump voters. They represented well--stupid about things, but don't think so. Immigration was a big issue and one that right-wing media magnified. They are mostly happy about that. They thought he would be better with the economy and most are nervous, but still waiting for improvement.
Gak!!!!

If this group is representative than we can expect to find more of them disappointed in the near future. Perhaps another third.
