New Delhi, March 25 – Prime Minister Narendra Modi has once again topped the global list of most popular leaders, achieving an approval rating of 68 per cent, according to a survey by Morning Consult, a reputed US-based data analytics firm.
According to the survey conducted by Morning Consult, between March 2 and 8, PM Modi has significantly outperformed his global counterparts, securing a commanding approval rating of 68 per cent.
The latest rankings reinforce PM Modi’s sustained charisma and leadership, not just domestically but also internationally, as he continues to hold the top spot despite three consecutive terms in power.
In stark contrast, US President Donald Trump features nowhere in the Top Ten rankings, having earned just 39 per cent approval ratings.
Other global leaders trailing PM Modi include Swiss President Guy Parmelin and South Korean President Lee Jae-myung, both occupying the second spot with 62 per cent approval ratings.
Those following closely in third and fourth spots are the Czech Republic and Argentine counterparts, with 57 and 56 per cent approval ratings respectively.
Besides the US President, other European counterparts are seen trailing behind by a significant margin. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has earned just 24 per cent approval ratings. Among other leaders, French President Emmanuel Macron fares poorly with 17 per cent approval ratings and is seen relegated to the bottom of the list.
Notably, PM Modi has consistently dominated the approval ratings since taking office. The latest rankings are significant in the context of him achieving the feat of being the longest-serving head of government.
PM Modi achieved a historic milestone in Indian politics this Sunday by becoming the longest-serving head of government in the country. He completed 8,931 days in office, combining his tenure first as Chief Minister of Gujarat and then as Prime Minister, thereby entering his 25th year in a key leadership role.
Notably, the Morning Consult ratings reflect a seven-day moving average of adult opinions across the countries surveyed.
