Experts said the surprise FBI announcement, which came just two weeks before the elections, may well shore up the Republican vote. While many traditional Republicans were reluctant to vote for the bombastic outsider, they may now rather vote for Trump than to see Clinton clinch the White House.
"The Clinton hatred among these individuals is so strong that the FBI investigation pushed most Republicans into Trump's corner. That has allowed him to narrow the race," West said.
While Clinton is leading, her edge is within the margin of error, which makes this anyone's race to win.
"She still has a slight edge, but the undecided vote still is large enough to keep the campaign competitive. Most of the surveys are within the margin of error, which means it officially is a tossup. Any late swing one way or another will decide the winner," he said.
Dan Mahaffee, an analyst with the Center for the study of the Presidency and Congress, told Xinhua the tightening race reflects that some Republicans are coming back to support Trump, as well as a natural tightening that would be expected in today's highly partisan atmosphere.
"I don't think this can be read solely as momentum for Trump-rather a mixture of the email scandal and GOP voters that were reluctant about Trump returning to the fold," he said.
But, even as the numbers tighten, Trump is way behind the 2008 and 2012 numbers among key demographics such as college-educated women, college-educated white men, etc. that are a vital part of any winning Republican coalition in an election year, he said.
