Poll: The Papal enclave in March will elect a successor to Pope Benedict XVI, who is retiring Feb. 28

  • North America
  • Europe
  • Latin America
  • Africa
  • Asia/Oceana

With Pope Benedict's historic decision to step down from the papacy, it will be up to the world's 120 voting cardinals to elect a successor. More than half of the cardinals -- 64 -- are from Europe; 19 are from Latin America; 14 are from North America; 11 are from Africa, and 12 are from Asia and Oceana. From what region of the world do you think the next pope will be from? Do you think there is a chance of the cardinals electing the first pope from the United States?
