Post-ABC poll: Benedict XVI leaves as popular Pope, but no John Paul II
<http://wapo.st/13ih6rP> 

 

Pope Benedict XVI steps down with an uptick in personal popularity and
wide support for his decision to retire, according to a new Washington
Post-ABC News poll
<http://apps.washingtonpost.com/g/page/politics/washington-post-abc-news
-poll-feb-13-17-2013/55/> . But Benedict leaves his position less
well-liked than his predecessor or the Roman Catholic Church overall, a
sign that his own brand failed to take flight as did Pope John Paul
II's.

 

About three-quarters of Catholics (76 percent) and a smaller majority of
all Americans (54 percent) view Benedict favorably, both numbers up
slightly from a 2008 survey. Only 14 percent of Catholics and 27 percent
of the overall public rates the pontiff unfavorably.
