Pope Francis has favorability ratings that any politician globally would fantasize about.
Ahead of his September trip to the United States, however, the Pope's popularity in America has apparently dropped.
He's still undeniably popular -- 66% of Americans find him favorable, compared with just 14% who do not, according to a Quinnipiac University poll -- but those numbers mean the Pope is much less popular in the U.S. than he is across most of Europe and South America.
During the majority of 2014, the Pope's favorability rating in the U.S. was somewhere north of 70%, according to multiple polls. The drop seems to have been led by U.S. conservatives, who may have changed their minds about the Pope after he issued sermons and statements decrying capitalism and emphasizing his belief that climate change is a problem caused by humans.
Data for every country in the chart above, aside from the U.S., comes from the latest available numbers compiled by Pew Research Center in 2014. The U.S. rating is derived from a Quinnipiac University poll that came out earlier in September.
