Send Push
NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has once again emerged as the most popular leader in the world with a 75 per cent approval rating.

According to the latest data released by US-based business intelligence firm Morning Consult, 75 per cent of participants approved of PM Modi as a democratic world leader, seven per cent of them could not make up their mind, while 18 per cent thought otherwise.

PM Modi was followed by South Korean President Lee Jae Myung and Argentina's Javier Milei.

"The latest approval ratings are based on data collected from July 4–10, 2025. Ratings reflect a trailing seven-day simple moving average of views among adults in each country surveyed," Morning Consult said.

The data presented is weighted to approximate representative samples of adults in each surveyed country, with weighting parameters and target populations varying accordingly. This methodological approach allows for a more accurate reflection of public opinion across different demographics and geographical locations.

Bharatiya Janata Party IT cell head Amit Malviya, in a social media post on X, shared the information and said, “Loved by over a billion Indians and respected by millions across the globe, PM Narendra Modi tops the Morning Consult Global Leader Approval Tracker once again — the highest-rated and most trusted leader worldwide. Strong leadership. Global respect. Bharat is in safe hands."

Union minister Sarbananda Sonowal also posted the list of leaders, hailing the Prime Minister.

“Once again, Hon'ble PM Shri Narendra Modi ji tops the Morning Consult Global Leader Approval Tracker, emerging as the world’s most trusted and highest-rated leader. Backed by over a billion Indians. Admired across continents. His strong, decisive leadership ensures Bharat’s rise and the world’s respect,” Sonowal said.

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump stands at eighth rank, with only 44 per cent in favour.

It is believed that some of his policy moves, including trade tariffs and domestic decisions, may have dented his popularity.

Earlier on Friday, PM Modi overtook former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi to serve the second-longest consecutive stint as PM. PM Modi completed 4,078 days in office to overtake Indira's uninterrupted spell of 4,077 days from Jan 24, 1966, to March 24, 1977.
