Pope Francis Is Hated By Conservatives, But Americans Approve Of Him By A Landslide

Conservatives may hate Pope Francis, but the American people love him more by a landslide according to a new poll.
A CNN poll shows that Pope Francis’ popularity has skyrocketed in America.

The latest CNN poll reveals that while Pope Francis is loathed by conservatives for having a more liberal approach, the great majority of Americans and American Catholics approve of him.

A whopping 88 percent of American Catholics highly approve of Pope Francis. Among the American people as a whole, his approval rating stands at an incredible 75 percent. So even though conservatives have made the pontiff the newest target of their hatred, Americans overwhelmingly side with him. This suggests that even many conservatives love the Pope despite what right-wing leaders think. After all, it’s unlikely that these numbers are composed only of those who lean liberal.
