The important point is that, although Hillary may dip in the polls, mostly a reaction to the email issue, Trump is not gaining any ground. And we have to see what the effect of Sanders support will add, and that certainly will add, to her base.
Also, she has yet to "leak" the VEEP appointment. That could possibly (obviously depending on who she chooses) swing things further her way.
And last but not least, the best weapon the Dems have against Trump is the plethora of batshyte crazy things he has said for the past year.
