Pope Francis wins approval from 58% of Americans, but his ‘unfavorable’ rating has climbed to 30%, according to a new Gallup poll.
Among Catholic Americans the Pope’s approval rating is higher, at 77%, but his unfavorable rating has also increased, to 17%. Both figures represent the lowest net approval ratings for Pope Francis.
Not surprisingly, Pope Francis is more popular with Americans who describe themselves as liberal, less with those who say they are conservative.
