Hillary Clinton is facing a fresh crisis over her perceived trustworthiness following her collapse at a 9/11 memorial, as a poll showed that fewer than half of American voters believe that she is suffering from pneumonia. Hillary Clinton campaign admits 'we could have done better' handling pneumonia news Read moreAbout 45% of the 1,910 respondents from YouGov’s First Verdict panel did believe the explanation given by Clinton’s doctor after her campaign initially said the former secretary of state merely felt “overheated”. The remaining 9% of those asked said they were uncertain over the explanation.

It was not disclosed even as campaign staff chided reporters for questioning bouts of coughing by Clinton at recent events.
