According to a Morning Consult survey, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has once again cemented his position as the most popular leader in the world, with an impressive 77% approval rating.
According to the survey, PM Modi has a sizable advantage over other world leaders, with Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador coming in second with 64%, Swiss President Alain Berset coming in third with 57%, and Poland’s Donald Tusk coming in fourth with 50%.
According to Morning Consult’s approach, opinions from the youth demographic are tracked across polled countries using a seven-day moving average. Based on a trailing seven-day simple moving average of daily surveys, the data points are arranged by total approval shares for leaders.
Other notable leaders on the list include Italy’s Giorgia Meloni (7th), US President Joe Biden (9th), Canadian PM Justin Trudeau (10th), and UK PM Rishi Sunak (12th). Ulf Kristersson of Sweden, Yoon Suk Yeol of South Korea, French President Emmanuel Macron, and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz were also included.
Earlier in December, PM Modi held a 76% approval rating, and in November 2023, it surged to 78%, underscoring his popularity both domestically and internationally.
