Clinton was forced to leave ceremonies marking the annivary of the September 11 attacks in NY on Sunday because of a dizzy spell. Running mate Tim Kaine campaigned in Greensboro last month, while daughter Chelsea Clinton was at a Wake Forest University roundtable Tuesday.
When the poll is extended to include the Libertarian and Green Party candidates, however, Clinton and Trump hold 42pc each. It took several hours for her personal physician to disclose she had been diagnosed with pneumonia two days earlier, drawing criticism of her campaign’s lack of transparency.

“I am doing great, thank you so much”, she added.

So 54 percent of the people who said they’d vote for Clinton said they picked her because they don’t like Trump. “She is recovering well with antibiotics and rest”.

“Welcome back to ‘Stronger Together, ‘” Clinton told reporters aboard her campaign airplane before she set off to North Carolina.
