But despite critics' allegations of corruption, polls show Clinton leading against rival Donald Trump - the bombastic billionaire that has grabbed recent media headlines for sexist remarks that were caught on tape several years ago and released in recent weeks.
Analysts say there are several reasons that the WikiLeaks have not hurt Clinton. Those include the contention that scandals involving sex are much more exciting and interesting for the average American than difficult-to-understand allegations of legal wrongdoing.
"There is negative information in the WikiLeaks email disclosures about the Clinton campaign, but none of them seem to hurt (Clinton) very much," Brookings Institution Senior Fellow Darrell West told Xinhua.
The WikiLeaks' leaked emails show a staff operation that is very political, but that isn' t surprising to many people, West said, adding that Trump' s sexist comments caught on tape have hurt the controversial businessman much more than the WikiLeaks hurt Clinton.
Dan Mahaffee, an analyst with the Center for the study of the Presidency and Congress, told Xinhua that if Clinton were facing a more traditional Republican candidate, the narrative of these emails could drag her down.
However, for a public that doesn' t spend a lot of time focused on politics, this is not a new story, he said, noting the controversy over Clinton's use of a personal email account to conduct business when she was secretary of state.
