Republican voters said recently they would support a candidate who opposes immigration reform, according to polling from the Washington Post and ABC News.

The poll shows that while most Americans (51 percent) want the next president to support a path to citizenship for immigrants, Republicans want the next president to oppose a path to citizenship (70 percent). Conservative voters agree, with 65 percent of conservative voters saying they want the next president to oppose a path to citizenship. 

The majority of some core Republican voter groups -- non-college whites, older voters and whites overall -- want a president who would oppose a path to citizenship and repeal Obamacare. These voter groups have mixed feelings on getting an Iran deal signed and on climate control. Since both of these issues are associated with President Barack Obama, the GOP candidate will have to oppose them.

This does not mean that Hilary Clinton has a big advantage in the 2016 General Election. Immigration and climate control might not be issues that will motivate voters. However, winning a third consecutive presidential term in the same party has proven difficult for parties. The state of the economy around the time of the election will play a big factor on who is ultimately elected.

A January Gallup survey showed that 60 percent of Americans were dissatisfied with the current immigration levels. Further, 39 percent felt that immigration levels were too high. Some 84 percent of Republicans said they were dissatisfied with the immigration levels, National Review reported.

Besides immigration, Republican voters have their preferences on a deal with Iran, climate change and Obamacare. 

Republican voters favor a candidate who opposes a deal with Iran. Sixty percent of Republicans favor a candidate who opposes a deal with Iran, while 31 percent favor a candidate who supports a deal with Iran. Conservative voters agree 62 percent to 32 percent.

Republican voters would prefer that their candidate would not get government involved in climate change. Some 55 percent of Republicans favor a candidate who opposes government involvement in climate change. Also 55 percent of conservatives agreed.

Republicans also would like their candidate to repeal Obamacare: 82 percent of Republican voters favor a candidate who would repeal Obamacare, and 69 percent of conservatives agreed.
