With a week until Election Day, Democrat Hillary Clinton holds an 11-point advantage over Republican Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, according to the latest Franklin & Marshall College Poll.

The poll released Tuesday was largely conducted before FBI Director James Comey's recent announcement that the bureau was reviewing newly discovered emails that may be relevant to the prior investigation of Clinton's use of a private server while secretary of state.

But analysts say the latest addition to the email scandal is unlikely to pull Pennsylvania out of Clinton's favor.

She's leading Trump 49 percent to 38 percent in the latest F&M poll.

Some 625 of the 863 polling interviews were conducted before Comey's announcement on Friday. The remaining 238 captured voters' responses after he said the bureau was taking "appropriate investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review these emails."

Comey's announcement has drawn criticism for its timing and inspired numerous unanswered questions.

Even if the poll didn't fully capture reactions to the latest email flap, Clinton has enough of a cushion to absorb some bad news, analysts said.

"I don't think the latest email news is going to materially change the race in Pennsylvania," said Terry Madonna, veteran political analyst and pollster at Franklin & Marshall. "Trump needs a bigger miracle than that to win."

It all comes down to the heavily populated Philadelphia suburbs where Clinton is leading Trump by 36 points, 64 percent to 28 percent.

Her lead in Philadelphia is even larger at 55 points, 72 percent to 17 percent.

"Trump isn't doing well enough in suburban Philly, or among women and college-educated voters," Madonna said.

Clinton is leading Trump among women by 19 points, 53 percent to 34 percent. She's leading him by 40 points among college-educated voters, 64 percent to 24 percent.

And she leads in things that right now matter to voters - experience, foreign policy, character and judgment, Madonna said.

"Even if the latest email news changes the polls by three points, Trump still doesn't win," he said. "The odds are pretty heavily in her favor now."

Email background

In the past few days, it's been revealed the new emails aren't Clinton's. They belong to her longtime aide Huma Abedin.

Abedin is the estranged wife of former Congressman Anthony Weiner, who has been under investigation since August when it was discovered he sent sexual text messages to a 15-year-old girl.

The FBI on Sunday obtained a search warrant to review emails found on his computer that may be relevant to the previous investigation of Clinton's private server.

About 650,000 emails have been discovered in the Weiner investigation, and they include a "significant amount of correspondence" associated with Clinton and Abedin, according to federal officials.

Federal agents knew early this month that these new messages recovered in a separate investigation might be relevant to their case, but they waited until Thursday before briefing the FBI director. A day later, Comey sent a letter to Congress, announcing that there would be a new review of emails associated with the Clinton case.

Comey this summer did not recommend criminal charges after investigating Clinton's use of a private server while secretary of state.

Pa. unlikely to pick a Republican

Just as that determination didn't sway the opinions of Clinton critics who believed she should be prosecuted, this new review is unlikely to deter her supporters, said Dan Fee, a Democratic consultant who heads The Echo Group in Philadelphia.

"For six months, the race has largely been static," Fee said. "Voters have made up their minds. The race is heading where a lot of us knew it would. Pennsylvania is unlikely to vote for a Republican."

This state hasn't sent a Republican to the White House since George H.W. Bush in 1988.

Elizabethtown College political scientist and professor Kyle Kopko agrees most voters here have made up their minds, and it will be difficult to change them.

"The latest email news might be enough to swing close states, like Ohio and Nevada, but not in Pennsylvania where Clinton has a large lead," Kopko said.

Muhlenburg College political scientist Chris Borick, who is polling this week, said the latest email news isn't good for Clinton, but it's unlikely to change the race in Pennsylvania.

"If she takes a 1- or 2-point hit, it's not good for her, but it's not deadly," Borick said. "She has a enough room in her lead to take a little bit of a hit."

But even if Clinton wins Pennsylvania and the presidency, her troubles aren't over, said Jeffrey Lord, a CNN analyst and Republican strategist from Camp Hill.

"This is not going to go away," Lord said. "There will be demands for an immediate investigation, people will be calling for her impeachment, and her presidency will begin in a constitutional crisis."
