Prime Minister Narendra Modi Retains Title of World's Most Popular Leader with 68% Approval Rating Prime Minister Narendra Modi has once again been named the world's most popular leader, according to the latest global survey conducted by the American data analytics firm Morning Consult. The survey, which was carried out between March 2 and 8, 2026, awarded Modi a 68% approval rating, significantly outpacing other global leaders. Switzerland’s President Gisela von Pfluger and South Korea’s President Yoon Suk Yeol came in second and third, respectively, with 62% approval ratings. Other leaders, including the Czech Republic and Argentina’s presidents, received 57% and 56% approval ratings, respectively. In contrast, U.S. President Donald Trump received only 39% approval, missing the top 10 rankings. Among European leaders, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer secured 24% approval, while French President Emmanuel Macron ranked near the bottom with 17%. The rankings are based on the seven-day moving average of opinions from adults in various countries. This latest survey comes at a time when Modi has recently become one of the longest-serving leaders in India’s history, combining his tenure as Gujarat’s chief minister with his role as prime minister. His extended period in public life has solidified his position as a prominent political figure both domestically and internationally. The survey highlights the sustained public support for Modi, despite ongoing challenges in the country. His leadership has been marked by initiatives in economic growth, technological advancement, and global diplomacy, which have contributed to his high approval ratings.#prime_minister_narendra_mod #morning_consult #president_gisela_von_pfluger #president_yoon_suk_yeol #prime_minister_keir_starmer
