The media’s narrative fell apart.
Donald Trump’s approval rating among Catholic voters increased, according to a new poll.

President Donald Trump’s job approval among Catholic voters rebounded in April despite his public feud with Pope Leo XIV intensifying this year.
The shift challenges assumptions that Trump’s attacks on a sitting pope would alienate a key religious voting bloc.

But Catholics told a different story. In that group, 52 percent approved and 48 percent disapproved, placing Trump four points above water with Catholic voters.
This is higher than the 48% the same poll found in March.
This marks a notable reversal from the media outlet’s March 20–23 survey, when the president was underwater at 48% approval and 52% disapproval.
Friction between Trump and the pope reached a boiling point on April 12 when the president shared a Truth Social post criticizing the first American pontiff.
Trump called Pope Leo “weak on crime” and “terrible for foreign policy,” specifically targeting the pope’s opposition to the joint U.S.-Israeli strikes in Iran.
Trump further claimed that the pontiff would not have been elected pope if not for his own influence. These comments appeared shortly after a “60 Minutes” interview in which American cardinals criticized the administration’s stance on mass deportations and the war in Iran.
