Among U.S. Catholics overall, 82% say they have a favorable opinion of the Pope. More than six-in-10 U.S adults, 63%, have a ‘very’ or ‘mostly’ favorable opinion of Pope Francis, according to the survey conducted in March using Pew’s online American Trends Panel.
According to a recent online survey released by the Pew Research Center on June 25, Pope Francis’ popularity remains “fairly stable” among both American Catholics and Americans in general.
More than six-in-10 U.S adults, 63%, have a “very” or “mostly” favorable opinion of Pope Francis, according to the survey conducted in March using the center’s online American Trends Panel.
Among U.S. Catholics overall, 82% say they have a favorable opinion of the Pope.
Claire Gecewicz, who focuses on religion research at Pew Research Center and who authored the report, explained that “views of Pope Francis have remained fairly stable among Catholic subgroups, too.”
“For example, Catholics who identify as Democrats or who lean toward that party continue to have a more positive opinion of Francis than their Republican counterparts, a partisan pattern that has held since 2018,” she said.
“In the latest survey, 90% of Catholic Democrats expressed a favorable opinion of the Pope, compared with 73% of Catholic Republicans and GOP leaners,” she said.
The survey also found little difference in opinions of Pope Francis among Catholics who attend Mass regularly and those who attend less often. Among weekly Massgoers, 84% said they have a very or mostly favorable opinion of Pope Francis, compared to 82% of Catholics who answered similarly and who attend Mass less often or not at all.

The “Catholics” who use abortion as a form of birth control.
BS propaganda.
They would.
Nobody asked me!
Not surprising:
I sure hope that figure isn’t correct. Because if it is, the Catholic Church is in more trouble than I thought.
But wait. Among Catholics there is a certain built-in reverence for the Pope. It doesn’t really matter who the Pope actually is. Maybe that explains things.
Fake pope, fake Catholics
Born and raised Catholic...it’s just part of the blind obedience we take up. But I don’t believe they’re being truthful to themselves.
More Catholic Republicans have favorable opinions of this commie Pope than one could ever have imagined.
It's absolutely disgusting.
Undoubtedly a fake poll. Any Catholic in their right mind is horrified and disgusted by this Pope.
I do not believe this poll, and I don’t believe much that comes from NCR.
I find that impossible to believe.
Not this Catholic. He’s Satan’s spawn.
Now you know why many Catholic Churches are empty anymore
They didn’t survey me. I gave the guy’s pontificate 2 weeks, and knew by then he was going to be a disaster.
Is this true?
ML/NJ
Maybe they wrongly believe they would be committing heresy if they didn't approve of him. I can't stand the guy, and don't recognize him as the Pope. Pope Benedict XVI is still my Pope, just like Donald Trump is still my President.
I’m glad I left this Church, even though it is so painful.
Francis is a blasphemous heretic.
