Speaking with reporters after her rally, Clinton said her “senior staff” knew that she was diagnosed with the illness last Friday but did not say when running mate Tim Kaine was informed. Fifty percent of respondents believe she gave false information about her health to the public.

Bardack did the right tests for her pneumonia and “she’s being treated appropriately”, said Dr. Mark Creager, director of the Dartmouth-Hitchkock heart and vascular centre in Lebanon, New Hampshire, and a past president of the American Heart Association. The Democratic nominee’s own health has been under scrutiny as she’s been recovering from a bout of pneumonia.
In a fiery speech, Obama said Trump is not fit to be the president of the United States.
Bardack said she has evaluated Clinton several times since Sunday, after Clinton was seen struggling to leave a 9/11 ceremony at Ground Zero after feeling overheated. Since it is not contagious, Clinton was at no risk of transmitting the infection at campaign and fundraising events before or after she was diagnosed.
The issue, however, may not have as big an impact on the vote as Clinton’s Republican rival Donald Trump may hope. That didn’t stop Trump, though.
Donald, 70, was just as marveled at his clean-bill of health while appearing on the September 15 episode of The Dr. Oz Show.
Sixty-five percent of likely voters said Clinton is not honest, and 55 percent said she was not honest enough to be president. “He didn’t really answer the questions directly”, attendee Carmela Villa told Politico after the taping.
In the previous poll by the same organization a few weeks ago, Clinton was leading Trump in double digits.
The Democratic nominee emerged onstage at a rally in Greensboro, North Carolina on Thursday to the strains of James Brown’s “I Feel Good”, claiming that the time off had provided her with a rare opportunity to “reconnect” with the most important aspects of the election.
The letter detailed her pneumonia diagnosis and declared her fit for the presidency.
A letter from Donald Trump’s personal physician says he is in “excellent physical health” and received normal results after a physical examination last week.

Soon a video shot by a witness surfaced online, in which an apparently ailing Clinton struggled to steady herself and had to be helped by two Secret Service agents into her van. Her three-day absence from the trail came at a critical time in the election season, as the first of three presidential debates will take place in less than two weeks at Hofstra University in NY.
