Pope Francis is still widely popular in several Latin American countries

Pope Francis is still widely popular in several Latin American countries. But the portion of people who still see him favorably in his native Argentina has plunged by almost 30 percentage points in a decade.

Those are among the key findings in a report released Thursday by the Pew Research Center titled: “How People in Latin America and the U.S. view Pope Francis.” The poll surveyed 6,234 adults last year in six Latin American countries that are among the region's most populous.

The poll found that attitudes toward the pope — in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru —are still broadly positive although overall less positive than they were a decade ago.

The biggest drop in favorable attitudes was recorded in the pope's Argentina.
