The vast majority of Americans say they are afraid of at least one of the two major candidates - the Democratic Party's Hillary Clinton and the Republicans' Donald Trump - winning the US presidential election, according to a new poll.

More than four-fifths (81 percent) of Americans say they would feel afraid following the election of one of the two presumptive US presidential nominees, a poll by The Associated Press-GfK said on Thursday. That figure includes a quarter who say it does not matter who wins: they are scared of both.
