Gallup finds fully 16 percent see the pope unfavorably, compared to 59 percent who still see him through a positive lens.

Conservatives, especially, have lost admiration for the religious leader. Support from this camp has fallen by 27 percentage points in the last year; from liberals, it’s fallen 14 percent.

And among American Catholics in general, the pope’s favor fell from 89 percent to 71 percent, the Hill reported.
