Over the past two years, Pope Francis has seen his approval rating in the United States consistently climb upwards. Interestingly enough, this is not necessarily a result of people that once disapproved of him changing their minds. Rather, the number of people that had not heard enough of Francis to make an opinion has halved since March 2013. It seems that people like what they're hearing.
