Prime Minister Narendra Modi has once again emerged as the world’s most popular leader, securing a 68% approval rating in the latest global survey conducted by Morning Consult. The survey, carried out between March 2 and 8, highlights Modi’s continued dominance on the global stage, placing him well ahead of his international counterparts.
According to the findings, Switzerland’s President Guy Parmelin and South Korea’s President Lee Jae-myung share the second spot, both registering a 62% approval rating. They are followed by leaders from the Czech Republic and Argentina, who recorded approval ratings of 57% and 56%, respectively, indicating a competitive but distant race behind Modi’s lead.
In contrast, US President Donald Trump posted a 39% approval rating and did not make it to the top ten list. Among European leaders, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer garnered a modest 24% approval, while French President Emmanuel Macron stood at 17%, placing him near the bottom of the rankings.
The survey methodology is based on a seven-day moving average of adult opinions across multiple countries, providing a dynamic snapshot of global leadership approval trends. This approach allows for a more consistent and updated reflection of public sentiment compared to static polling methods.
The latest recognition comes at a significant moment in Modi’s political journey. Recently, he achieved a major milestone by becoming one of India’s longest-serving leaders in a head-of-government role. His combined tenure, spanning his years as Chief Minister of Gujarat and as Prime Minister, underscores a prolonged period of political influence and leadership continuity.
Modi’s sustained popularity, both domestically and globally, reflects a combination of political stability, strong leadership perception, and consistent public engagement. As global political dynamics continue to evolve, such rankings not only highlight individual leaders’ standing but also offer insight into broader public sentiment shaping governance worldwide.
