There’s a sense in some Democratic circles that while Clinton has been damaged by the controversy, it won’t ultimately sink her against the bombastic billionaire.

“Americans are basically comparison shoppers,” said Brad Bannon, a Democratic strategist. “If Hillary Clinton was running against somebody like [Ohio Gov.] John Kasich, the FBI-email thing would have been devastating.

“But she’s not running against John Kasich; she’s running against Donald Trump,” he said.

Recent national polling suggests that the damning results of the federal investigation into her server did little to tilt supporters away from the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee but may have hurt her with independents.

Over half of Americans believe that the FBI should have recommended charges against Clinton — 58 percent — and disapproval wasn’t evenly split down party lines. Nine in 10 Republicans said she should have been charged, and 3 in 10 Democrats and 6 in 10 independents also believed the agency made the wrong decision.

But whether the revelations from Comey’s statements changed many votes remains murky.
