Hillary Clinton returned to the presidential campaign trail on Thursday, making a confident first public appearance since pneumonia forced her to take a four-day rest. The physical examination also revealed the 70-year-old Republican to be overweight, at 236lbs, but he claimed he had bolstered his physical condition by giving speeches on the campaign trail. “I confess I will never be the showman that Trump is,” she said, before returning to familiar campaign messages on the economy and social justice. Earlier on Thursday, a new poll for CBS and the New York Times showed Clinton and Trump on 41% each, while Rasmussen had Trump up by 2%. Another swing state poll on Thursday showed Trump ahead by 8% in Iowa, a state Obama took by 6% in 2012.
