By contrast, by the time the eventual GOP nominee is chosen, he will probably have come out against any global climate treaty and at best hedged on domestic climate action; he will have cast serious doubt on whether he can support a real plan for legalization; he will have promised to undo any Iran nuke deal; and he will have vowed to continue the crusade for Obamacare repeal until he draws his very last breath.

Some new polling from the Washington Post and ABC News helps illustrate why this contrast will likely take shape — and what it could mean for the next election.

The poll finds that on all of those issues, Republican and conservative voters are on one side, while majorities or pluralities of Americans — including independents and moderates — are on the other:

* Climate change: 59 percent of Americans say they want the next president to favor government action to address climate change, versus 31 percent who oppose such action. Independents favor action by 61-32, and moderates favor action by 68-23.
