Aug. 5 (UPI) -- A new Gallup survey shows that Pope Leo XIV is the most popular global figure among 14 names in its poll with a "strongly negative" skew for Elon Musk and Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The data released Tuesday by the Washington-based firm suggested the pope had a 57% favorability rating and 11% unfavorable in a +46 net-favorable score.
"That's unheard of in today's political climate," Christopher Hale, a Democratic Party figure and nonprofit leader, commented on social media.
It showed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in second at 52% favorability but far below the Roman Catholic Church leader with a 34% unfavorable rate.
