Most Americans expect Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to compete with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in the general election, according to a poll released Monday.

The CNN/ORC poll showed that 85 percent of voters nationwide thought Clinton would be the Democratic nominee and 84 percent of the same group said that they thought Trump would be the GOP nominee.

The poll showed that most voters nationwide have expected Clinton to be the nominee since the end of July, but never with so much support. The same is true for Trump.

The poll surveyed 878 registered voters and 12 people who planned on registering to vote by phone from April 28 to May 1. The margin of error was plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.
