With 78% approval ratings, PM Modi again is the most popular leader in the world

Once again, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has topped the chart as the most popular leader in the world, leaving behind many of his contemporaries in Western countries.

PM Modi’s approval ratings, as per the Morning Consult survey, stands at a whopping 78%, which roughly means that he commands the approval and support of the same percentage of the population. PM Modi has consistently topped the Morning Consult charts in NDA 1.0 and NDA 2.0.

PM Narendra Modi has left behind state heads of the world’s most powerful economies like the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and others in the charts, in terms of domestic and global appeal.

As per survey findings, PM Modi is the only leader to have approval ratings above the 70% mark while all others, barring four leaders, have got approval of below 50%.

Mexico President Andres Obrador is the closest second leader in the charts with 65% approval ratings while Argentina President Javier Milei has got 63% ratings.

Poland’s Donald Tusk is ranked fourth in the charts with a rating of 50% while Switzerland President Viola Amherd bagged a rating of 51%.

Morning Consult’s latest approval ratings are based on the data collected between January 30 and February 5. These ratings are based on the seven-day moving average of opinions among adults in each surveyed country. The US-based Morning Consult is one of the most reputed survey agencies.

US President Joe Biden, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, seen as the most powerful leaders are placed either in the middle or bottom of the table. While Biden has managed to command 37% ratings, Sunak and Olaf have got barely a little above 20% approval ratings.
