Pope Francis rates higher than President Barack Obama in positive feelings amongst Americans, according to a recent NBC News/Wall Street Journal Poll of 1,000 Americans. The two met for the first time at the Vatican on Thursday. 55 percent of Americans have positive feelings about Pope Francis and 41 percent have positive feelings about President Barack Obama.
