Clinton's fall in the polls comes on the heels of a few challenging weeks of press that saw the release of the FBI investigation into her private email server. The report detailed an incident involving an aide destroying two of Clinton's phones by "breaking them in half or hitting them with a hammer."

Trump was quick to capitalize on the report, saying the findings "reinforce her tremendously bad judgment and dishonesty."

Over the weekend Clinton was forced to depart early from a ceremony commemorating the 15th anniversary of 9/11 due to being "overheated," according to the Clinton campaign. Video surfaced on Sunday allegedly showing the former secretary of state requiring assistance while entering a black van on her way from the event.

Clinton emerged from her daughter Chelsea's home in Manhattan around 90 minutes later, telling reporters she felt "great."

Clinton's health has become a popular talking point on the right; some critics have cited repeated coughing spells on the campaign trail as a cause for concern. With just two weeks to go until the first highly anticipated presidential debate the race continues to tighten.
