The majority of Americans think Hillary Clinton is going to win the presidential election in November, according to a new ABC News/Washington Post poll. Assuming Clinton is going up against Donald Trump in the general election, 54 percent of Americans said they'd expect Clinton to win; the poll also reports that among registered voters — who tend to be more Republican-leaning — some 52 percent expect Clinton to win. Clinton is also seen trouncing Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio by larger margins than she's expected to beat Trump.

Bernie Sanders is also expected to perform well against the GOP, although Americans are less certain he could beat Trump. However, the poll saw Americans expecting Sanders to beat Cruz or Rubio in a general election matchup. On the whole, higher educated Americans expect Clinton and Sanders to beat out their GOP opponents.

But while Trump's momentum shows no signs of letting up, ABC News/Washington Post found seven in 10 Americans are "anxious" about the idea of him as president — and that number is far higher with blacks, Hispanics, and women. On the whole, Americans are the least anxious about a Bernie Sanders presidency, with 50 percent of respondents feeling comfortable with that potential outcome.

The poll was conducted between Jan. 21-24 in English and Spanish, with a sampling of 1,001 adults. The margin of error was 3.5 points with a partisan division of 34-23-34 percent Democrats-Republicans-independents. Jeva Lange

A 74-year-old woman backing out of a parking spot accidentally hit the gas pedal instead of the brake Sunday night in Ohio, hitting a crowd of people at an outdoor concert, police in Parma Heights said.

The unidentified woman had just left a Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin tribute concert when the incident occurred, The Associated Press reports. Nine were injured, two seriously, when the woman drove onto a dance floor then hit a telephone pole, Det. Sgt. Steve Scharschmidt said. The victims are believed to be in their 50s, 60s, and 70s, police said. Some were treated at the scene, while other have been hospitalized. An investigation is ongoing and so far no charges have been filed against the woman. Catherine Garcia

The 2016 Rio Olympics came to a close Sunday night during a rainy ceremony at the Maracana Stadium.

Gold medal-winning gymnast Simone Biles carried the flag for the U.S. delegation, one of many athletes braving the weather by wearing a poncho. International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach said the Rio Olympics will leave a "unique legacy," and there were lots of fireworks, confetti, floats, and samba dancers.

The ceremony ended with the extinguishing of the Olympic flame and the official handover of the Olympic flag to the host of the 2020 Games, Yuriko Koike, governor of Tokyo. Catherine Garcia

Lou Pearlman, the founder and manager of the extremely popular 1990s boy bands Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync, died Friday at a federal correctional institution in Texas. He was 62.

His death was confirmed by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, but the cause has not been revealed. Pearlman rocketed to fame alongside his acts — the Backstreet Boys sold more than 130 million records and 'N Sync sold more than 55 million. In 2008, Pearlman was convicted of fraud and bilking investors out of more than $300 million, and he was sentenced to 25 years for running Ponzi and bank schemes. Pearlman's former lawyer, Mark NeJame, told CNN his client "literally revolutionized the world of pop music and [he was] a creative genius in that regard — but [he] had a horrible dark side that eventually overshadowed his talents."

On Twitter, Justin Timberlake said he hoped Pearlman "found some peace," and his former 'N Sync bandmate Lance Bass tweeted that Pearlman "might not have been a stand up businessman, but I wouldn't be doing what I love today [without] his influence. RIP Lou." Catherine Garcia

A pair of bombings in the semi-autonomous state of Puntland in Somalia on Sunday killed about 20 people and injured around 30 more. Both explosions were suicide attacks with vehicle bombs, one of which rammed the gate of a government building while the other targeted a marketplace.

"There were two huge bombs," said Halima Ismail, who lives in the area where the attack took place. "The first one was a truck bomb, followed a minute or so [later] by another car bomb. My brother was injured at the scene."

The attack has been claimed by al Qaeda-linked militant group al Shabaab as part of its efforts to overthrow the Somali government. Bonnie Kristian

Republican Donald Trump has yet to decide whether he wants to forcibly deport millions of undocumented immigrants, according to an interview with his new campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, with CNN Sunday. Conway said Trump's support for creating a special "deportation force," as he previously proposed, is now "to be determined."

This comes just one day after Trump reportedly asked a roundtable of Latino leaders to help him make 'humane and efficient' immigration policy. Watch Conway's comments below. Bonnie Kristian

More than 100 people in Maricopa County, Arizona, which includes the capital city of Phoenix, have contracted a diarrheal infection from contaminated pool water.

As many as 20 public pools, splash pads, and water parks are believed to be hosting a parasite called cryptosporidium, which can cause diarrhea, vomiting, cramps, and fever. In some cases, it can also damage the respiratory tract.

Officials have not identified which pools are polluted with the chlorine-resistant bug, and the pools have not been closed while they undergo cleaning. There is "no reliable test" to determine if a given body of water contains the disease, said Dr. Rebecca Sunenshine of the Maricopa County Department of Public Health.

The public is encouraged to "stay out of the water if you have diarrhea" so the illness does not spread further. Bonnie Kristian
