PM Modi Retains Spot of Most Popular World Leader

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s approval ratings remain to be the highest among 22 world leaders at 76%, as per the latest rankings by approval tracker Morning Consult. Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and Australian PM Anthony Albanese were in the second and third spots. Swiss Confederation President Alain Berset and Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva are among the top five of the ratings by the global decision intelligence firm that tracks the major decisions of global leaders.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has surpassed his US and UK counterparts, Joe Biden and Rishi Sunak to become the world’s ‘most popular’ leader. The list of top 10 most popular world leaders include Giorgia Meloni (Italy), Joe Biden (United States), Alexander De Croo (Belgium), Justin Trudeau (Canada), and Pedro Sánchez (Spain). Out of the 22 countries, Czech Republic Prime Minister Petr Fiala, France’s Emmanuel Macron and South Korean President Yoon Seok-youl ranked among the last three.

“The latest approval ratings are based on data collected from March 22-28, 2023. Approval ratings are based on a seven-day moving average of adult residents in each country, with sample sizes varying by country,” the website said.

Morning Consult said all interviews it conducted were online among nationally representative samples of adults.
