Less than two weeks after Donald Trump declared himself the presumptive Republican nominee, a new national poll shows U.S. voters appear to agree with the leading GOP candidate.
According to a CNN/ORC survey released Monday, 84 percent of voters believe Trump will secure the GOP nomination, while 85 percent think former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will emerge as the Democratic presidential nominee.

Clinton won four of the five primaries held last Tuesday, while losing Rhode Island to her opponent Bernie Sanders. The Vermont senator is polling 8 percentage points behind Clinton in the same CNN/ORC poll, and trails her in both pledged Democratic delegates and super delegates.
On the Republican side, 49 percent of GOP voters said they want Trump to be their party’s nominee.
The survey of 811 registered voters was conducted April 28-May 1. Results contain a margin of error plus or minus 5 percent.
