Pope Leo XIV, the current pontiff, is reported to be a registered Republican and has participated in multiple Republican primary elections in the United States since 2012, according to state voting records. He has voted in three Republican primaries since 2012, although voters in Illinois, where he is registered, do not register by party, so his participation in Republican primaries does not definitively indicate party affiliation. Additionally, Pope Leo XIV voted in the 2024 U.S. general election. Prior to 2016, he also voted in Democratic primaries. Public opinion polls conducted by YouGov on May 9, 2025, show that 56% of respondents approve of his election as Pope, 7% disapprove, and 37% remain unsure.
