What Voters Think About Hillary Clinton and Candidates' Health
ABC News ^ | 9/13/2016 | Meghan Keneally

Politicians on all sides have weighed in on Hillary Clinton's health incident over the weekend, and now she and Donald Trump have said they will release more information about their health in the coming days and weeks.

While there has been political talk about how the candidates' health disclosures could affect the presidential campaign, no polls have yet measured its importance for voters.

Informal conversations with a variety of voters indicate that, so far, many are falling along party lines. Democrats supporting their nominee seem to believe that more is being made of the situation than it warrants, while Republicans are calling for greater scrutiny and raising questions over the apparent secretiveness of the Clinton campaign.

Butch Gudger, a Democrat who plans to vote for Trump, said that his concern over Clinton's health is part of a wider suspicion.

"I don't think we know the whole picture. There's more to the story, and we don't know everything," he told ABC News at a Trump rally in North Carolina on Monday. "I think that she can take a break, she should take a break. But I think there's more to the story."

Dennis McDowell, a fellow Trump supporter at the rally, said that the timeline of events lends itself to his similar suspicions.

"She was fine on Friday when she did that interview, and then on Sunday, all of a sudden, she's got pneumonia?" McDowell said, adding that he thinks her health issues are being downplayed.

"I can't speculate on her health," he said. "I think the press is trying to make it out to be something that it's not."

Clinton supporters seem to feel the incident has been overblown and the Trump campaign is using it to play into a narrative it established.

“Clinton supporters seem to feel the incident has been overblown and the Trump campaign is using it to play into a narrative it established.”

Odd. Trump wished her a speedy recovery and hoped she’d be well enough to attend the first debate.

Hillary made three major public appearances in two months; her nomination at the DNC, the Labor Day speech, and 9/11 Memorial. At two of them, her health failed. I’m sure her handlers were sweating bullets at the third one.

There are three debates scheduled. The odds are very high of her health failing in at least one of them.

Funny...all these years stealing state secrets for money and power, now she is bedridden and cannot do a thing about it.

hillary clinton keeps fainting, skipping events, experiencing paralysis, and falling down, but it’s nothing serious?????

The Marxists’ rhetoric has never been so egregious - and it’s been prolific and severe for years.

They’re desperate.

I don’t particularly care for Donald Trump’s health. He is not the one who is being carried lifeless into ambulance like vans.

ABC - yeah no thanks. But tell me this. Did ABC’s Georgie Ste*f*anupalus (former Clinton employee who owes his entire career and fortune to the Clintons) contribute to this BS piece?

Media meme last week: “Health questions are off limits, sexist!”

Media meme this week: “In depth stories about voters’ concerns about every candidates’ health!”

But... by saying very little, he spoke volumes!
