Nearly two-thirds of Republicans say it is important for the GOP to show at least some loyalty to former President Donald Trump despite the widespread belief his political influence has dimmed heading into the 2024 cycle.

A CBS News/YouGov survey found 35% of Republicans said loyalty to Mr. Trump is very important and 30% said it is somewhat important, while only 14% said it is not important at all.

Eight in 10 Republicans said they would prefer candidates whose policies and proposals are similar to Mr. Trump’s, while two-thirds said they would like them to espouse his view on the 2020 election.
