Nearly Half Concerned About McCain’s Health if Elected
Nearly half of Americans fear that, if elected, John McCain would not be able to finish his first term in good health, a new poll released Thursday showed.
47 percent of respondents in a CNN/Opinion Research study said they were concerned about McCain’s ability to finish a first term, including 29 percent of all respondents saying they are “very concerned” about McCain.
The poll, conducted in late September, found only 19 percent of voters were similarly concerned about Obama.
Each candidate has a health history that includes an elevated health risk: McCain is a skin cancer survivor, and Obama is a former smoker.
