Rasmussen: Clinton's Health Is Just Another Partisan Issue

Although half of likely voters are concerned about Hillary Clinton's health if the Democratic nominee wins the presidential election, results from the latest Rasmussen Reports poll show that the public is treating the subject as just another partisan issue.

The results:

• 28 percent of Democrats say they're concerned about Clinton's health;
• 73 percent of Republicans are concerned;
• 51 percent of unaffiliated voters are concerned.

The telephone and online survey was taken after Clinton became dehydrated and stumbled at Sunday's 9/11 ceremony in New York and following her campaign's statement that she was suffering from pneumonia.

Others results from the survey include:

• 63 percent of Donald Trump supporters are very concerned about Clinton's health, while, in stark contrast, 48 percent of Clinton backers are not at all concerned;
• 91 percent of those intending to vote for Clinton do not believe her health issues make her less able to be president, while 83 percent of those who will vote Trump say she is less able to be president;
• Among Republicans, 72 percent say Clinton's health issues make her less able to be president, while among Democrats 77 percent disagree;
• While men were evenly split at 46 percent about whether her health makes her less able to be president, 50 percent of women said it did not make her less able to be president, while only 40 percent said it would;
• Among all likely voters, 50 percent are concerned about Clinton's health is she wins the election, while 49 percent are not worried.

CNN announced that Clinton will return to public view on Thursday after taking three days off from the campaign trail to recover from pneumonia.

The Rasmussen Reports survey of 1,000 likely voters was conducted on Sept. 12-13. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95 percent level of confidence.
