Poll shows Americans favor Pope Leo while rejecting Trump's religious messaging

An ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll conducted April 24-28 found 41% of Americans view Pope Leo favorably compared to 16% unfavorably, with Catholics rating him at 61% favorable. The same poll showed broad American rejection of Trump's social media post depicting himself as Jesus and Defense Secretary Hegseth's comments about prayer and violence. Pope Leo responded by saying he aims to spread messages of peace while affirming people's right to criticize him.
