Some interesting Gallup polling data on American attitudes toward Pope Francis. Not surprisingly, conservatives view the Pope much less favorably than they did in February 2014. Approval has dropped from 72% to an anemic 45%. What stands out to me, though, is that positive attitudes toward the pope have also dropped among moderates and liberals. The drop isn’t nearly as great. And both groups still view him positively overall. But across the board, Americans view him less favorably.
No Longer Rockstar Pope?
