Pope’s approval rating plummets as ‘gay-friendly’ image wears off [View all]

A Gallup poll shows that as his LGBT-friendly image slowly falls away, the Pope is quickly losing favor with the general public in the West.

The percentage of Americans who see the Pope in a favorable light has dropped from 76 percent in February 2014, to just 59 percent this month.

Meanwhile, there has been a sharp rise in those who disapprove of the Pope – from 9 percent to 16 percent.

Among liberals his approval rating was down 14 points to 68 percent – while among conservatives it was down further, dropping 27 points to 45 percent.

At least people are finally seeing the wolf in sheep's clothing.
