AP-GfK poll: Voters question Clinton health despite reports
McClatchy DC ^ | September 28, 2016 | Lauran Neergaard and Emily Swanson, The Associated Press

Posted on 09/28/2016 12:52:50 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

The "stamina," the "look": A new poll suggests voters are buying in to Donald Trump's insinuations about Hillary Clinton's health. They're ignoring the medical reports.

Voters — especially men — have more confidence that Trump is healthy enough for the presidency than Clinton, according to the Associated Press-GfK poll.

It's a disconnect considering Clinton has released more medical information than Trump, and that outside doctors who've looked at the available data say both candidates seem fine. But it shows the political points Trump scored after the Democratic nominee's much-publicized mild case of pneumonia....

I have a family member who worked with a polling company all summer long. You are correct in that part of their job is to form opinions. That’s why certain questions are asked in the manner they are asked.

I get the same stuff for the same reason.

The weirdest thing is when I rake leaves or use the hedge clippers, for hours afterward, my hands are not under my control.

If I try to hold something, they spaz like crazy.

No idea why.

Absolutely can NOT abide watching any horizontal movement, like traffic passing in front of me, while sitting at the stop.

Those infernal ‘scrolling updates’ on all the channels drive me berserk.

I’m shocked that voters do not trust the mainstream media. Shocked, I say!

Morgellon’s Disease. Or related Ekbom’s Syndrome. Both get delusional parasitosis. Very curious disease. I actually had a patient with this a few years back. Seemingly normal in every other respect but absolutely insisted her skin was infested. No specialist could find anything and the less they found the worse she got. Bizarre.

Lauran Neergaard and Emily Swanson of The Associated Press are remarkably uncurious for ‘journalists’.

Are Lauran Neergaard and Emily Swanson merely easily-duped suckers, or is there something more sinister at work here? The question answers itself.

Hillary’s campaign is based on lies. Hillary is a serial liar.

Yet Lauran Neergaard and Emily Swanson of The Associated Press continue to act as if statements by Hillary or by her campaign staff and surrogates are actually truthful.

In other words, people are relying on common sense and their own two as as opposed to taking the word of people who can’t tell the truth....interesting....

Called, “push polling”. And they’re SOOO obvious when you talk to them. It’s fun messing with ‘em.

Media:”Come ON people!WHY won’t you believe that Hillary is just as healthy as .... well just very healthy?”
34% think she is not healthy enough to be POTUS and 11% think she is trustworthy and they are “tied?” yes of course.

That sounds incredibly frustrating. I never heard of nystagmus before now, but I have vision issues and can definitely empathize. And tendon/nerve issues as well.

But don’t take it personally! We are still capable people, nobody here is saying we are not. But we are not running for president.

But people want a president that appears healthy and in-charge. It’s a perception thing. Roosevelt, in his wheelchair, probably couldn’t get elected today with the media scrutiny.

“Is it not typically one who is healthy has a far smaller record jacket than one who is not?”

excellent point!

“Clinton has released more medical information than Trump”.....

First, Trump is healthy, period! Hitlary, on the other hand, has demonstrated time and again that she is NOT well. Offering up more than likely bogus health reports and explanations, is akin to odumbo providing numerous variates of birth certificates. Determining the beasts health will require a "live" health examination for the world to see.

you’re a strange dude.

I remember some times back, you showed an incredibly indifferent attitude towards animals on a thread.

Perhaps we can add a new party to the list: the sociopath party :)

not to be confused with socialist, who are all sociopaths anyway!

Despite reports? False reports and complete lies more like it. McClatchy news lies; i have met some of these pompous fools in town.
